I went back and started doing some research about the Virginia Department of Corrections, saw all of the accolades and the awards that you were winning, kind of the progressive mandate that under Director Clarke's stewardship. The Virginia Department of Corrections has really been able to advance very progressive, thoughtful agenda and I thought this is exactly the kind of partner that the State Department is looking for. Director Harold Clarke: I think Virginia was chosen for this partnership because we have demonstrated to the nation and indeed to the world that we are leading in the area of corrections in many respects. We are on the cutting edge. Our lower rate of recidivism is the first indicator of the fact that we are a very successful agency. Secretary Brian Moran: It's recognition of the great work the Department of Corrections does. We know it. We see it each and every day, the wonderful work that's being done here, but to be recognized internationally, for the United States State Department to come here to Virginia to say that Virginia has the right training and practices, that we can take this not only nationally but internationally to other countries who frankly are struggling. They really are building their correction facilities and their correctional systems…that Virginia can lead the way and serve as a model. It's obviously an opportunity to express great pride in the work that DOC does so we are very proud and it really is a momentous occasion. Ambassador William Brownfield: What we do in the State Department INL is support law enforcement programs around the world. Why do we do it? Not just to make the world a better place but quite frankly because if we are successful in supporting law enforcement overseas, we have fewer law enforcement and criminal problems here in the United States of America including the streets and communities of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ambassador William Brownfield: Why important that it be the Virginia Department of Corrections? Because they are cutting edge among U.S. state corrections services in terms of their programs, in terms of their technology, in terms of the way that they are performing the mission. So from our perspective, this is a win-win. The Virginia DOC wins because they have both the ability to project to other countries but build a network of contacts that allows them to work with their counterparts in other countries on issues that might be having an impact in their own prisons. And we win, as INL, because we have one of our nation's greatest and most effective corrections departments as a partner offering both the training and the experience around the world. Dara Duncan, INL/CAP: We see these partnerships as a win-win. We know that the issues that our international partners are facing overseas are very similar to the issues that domestic partners, state level department of corrections face in the United States and that peer-to-peer learning is really helpful both for the domestic partner and for the international partner. We are also looking for a partner that has a particular skillset. They have language abilities or are doing something particularly well. In the case of Virginia it would be reentry, rehabilitation, probation and parole. We think that those are best practices that we'd like to expose our international partners to. Director Harold Clarke: But I think it also benefits the Department of Corrections as well in that our staff will be exposed to a much broader audience of individuals across the globe and we can learn from them as we are trying to teach them best practices that we are engaging in Virginia. Secretary Brian Moran: It's going to be very exciting. Morocco is coming in in April to train and the opportunity for some of the employees for DOC to go overseas…so there is going to be some really exciting opportunities and that will help us attract and retain wonderful employees too when they're provided those type of job opportunities so this is a real win-win for everyone. It's good to be a part of it.
