Justice Trends is a bilingual printed and online
publication that produces content on topics related to prison, juvenile justice
and law enforcement. With a mission to “inform the corrections community about
trends, challenges, best practices and the latest developments in the execution
of justice worldwide,” Justice Trends aims to appeal to Ministers of Justice,
Directors of Prison and those interested in learning more about corrections.
Doug Dretke, who has served as the Executive Director
for CMIT for the past 15 years, has developed many training programs that
impact prison systems globally. In one of his most recent programs, Dretke
welcomed Executive Leaders from Mexico as a part of CMIT’s Executive Leadership
Program. In this program, correctional leaders from different countries travel
to the College
of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University to help develop
their leadership capacity towards reforming and improving their correctional
systems.
Even with his success in this industry, Dretke is
still humbled by this recognition, saying, “To even be asked to be a part of or
to be featured in the interview highlights the work that Sam Houston, the
College of Criminal Justice, our institute and all our other institutes, are
doing. It was an honor to be featured in Justice Trends and it gives Sam
Houston recognition across the globe.”
As the corrections field evolves, the Corrections
Management Institute of Texas looks to continue to develop programs beneficial
to correctional institutions in various countries. Doug Dretke is a primary
contributor to the response of this evolution, and his input has impacted
institutions on a global scale. We look forward to seeing the influence of CMIT
and the benefits its programs will have on other international institutions. To
