National Institute of Corrections

Strange

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed Department of Corrections Secretary Cheryl Strange to the National Institute of Corrections Advisory Board. The 16-member board sets policy and develops long-term plans for the National Institute of Corrections and is made up of private sector, local law enforcement, state corrections officials and federal administrators. The NIC provides guidance to local and state governments, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Justice, other federal agencies and the U.S. Congress. Its primary goal is to raise the standards and performance of corrections agencies nationwide. After a career as a public servant that has spanned more than 40 years, Strange plans to retire next year. She joined DOC as secretary in 2021 after serving four years as secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services. Prior to that, she was the CEO of Western State Hospital. She has also worked as DOC's deputy secretary during a prior stint with the department, vice president of Pioneer Services and director of the Health Benefits Trust for SEIU 775. She has also served in many positions in Washington state government, appointed by Gov. Jay Inslee.
