  • Dara Duncan, INL/CAP: I had the pleasure of meeting Director Clarke when I was at an international

  • conference about two years ago and he had lots of creative ideas about things that I

  • could be doing from the vantage point of the State Department and I was really impressed

  • with his creativity, the kind of progressive agenda that he seemed to be advocating for

  • generally and international corrections.

  • 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 systemsthat

  • 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 overseasso 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.
