Plans & Accomplishments
Commonwealth’s Forum on Crime in Sussex prisons
Shortly after being appointed as Commonwealth’s Attorney we got busy instituting major policy initiatives for this office. We called on the Wardens, their staff and other key leadership figure from the Department of Corrections to meet and discuss ways to reduce crime in the prisons. The meeting was highly successful and will be used as a model for other jurisdictions that are responsible for prosecuting criminal activity in their jurisdictions Since instituting this plan, we have managed to increase successful prosecution of crimes committed in the Sussex prisons. We recently asked the Grand Jury to give us twenty-five indictments for the Sussex prison and they did just that. We believe that these indictments and the subsequent successful prosecutions will significantly deter further attempts to commit crimes in the prison.
