South Dakota Department Of Corrections Strategic Plan 2025
The 2025 Strategic Plan for the South Dakota Department of Corrections focuses on three main goals: decreasing adult and juvenile recidivism, decreasing staff turnover, and increasing the rate of completions for referred educational programs. Key measures include reducing technical parole violations, implementing updated treatment protocols, increasing offender access to identification, fully implementing assessment tools, establishing wellness committees, creating chaplain positions, and ensuring contact standards are met for educational and treatment classes.

The South Dakota Corrections Commission discussed various topics, including potential summer study topics such as regional jails, prisons, and juvenile justice; the procedural flow of offender sentencing; funding for a new prison facility; and the possibility of contracting with local facilities to alleviate overcrowding. The commission approved the acquisition of a Latex 800 printer for Pheasantland Industries to improve inmate reintegration and increase revenue. Two new policies were established for Pheasantland Industries, one outlining business management and the other defining payment procedures. The commission also reviewed the progress of license plate re-issuance and approved the "Pierre Pups" program, a dog daycare and grooming service at the South Dakota Women's Prison. Additional discussions included plans for a new male facility, staffing concerns, updates on the volunteer program, and addressing public concerns regarding parolees. The commission also discussed treatment and sentencing structures, including the resistance of new offenders to treatment programs and the need for culturally relevant programming.

South Dakota Department Of Corrections Statewide Facility Plan
The Statewide Facility Plan for the South Dakota Department of Corrections aims to provide a roadmap for meeting current and future facility demands. It addresses the challenge of growing prison populations, staffing inefficiencies, and the need for improved facilities to provide contemporary care and rehabilitation opportunities. The plan recommends constructing a new 1,372-bed Multi Custody Correctional Facility to replace the SDSP and alleviate pressure on MDSP, along with decentralizing the female population by establishing new Community Work Centers in Sioux Falls and Rapid City. These actions are intended to enhance specialized care for inmates with various needs, improve operational efficiencies, and better connect inmates with their families and communities.
