On June 22, 2023, the Levin Center’s State Oversight Academy held an interactive masterclass for state legislators and their legislative staff entitled “Oversight of Prison Operations”. The class reviewed the multiple oversight avenues available to state lawmakers and applied these learnings in the interactive exercise. The class was joined by external experts to share their knowledge and experience in overseeing corrections operations:

  • Kade Minchey, Utah Legislative Auditor General
  • Keith Barber, Michigan Legislative Corrections Ombudsman
  • Amarik K. Singh, California Inspector General
