“Every year we do a strategic planning session for the next 12 months.” explained Wells County Community Corrections Director Blake Poindexter. “We try to sit down and develop guidelines, and benchmarks for the department to grow and develop new programming, new operational standards, as well as how we interface with offenders, the courts, the public, the community, and what services that we either can offer, or that we don’t need to offer anymore.”
