Featured Work
Arizona’s prisons are in crisis. We need a prisons director who will transform the system.
This week, the Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan will formally retire leaving behind a department in turmoil. I spent 13 years in the Arizona prison system and I recently met with members of Gov. Ducey's staff to recommend some much-needed changes that should come with Ryan's departure.
