DC One Fund Holiday Celebration
The 64 th DC One Fund Campaign is still underway and so far $1.17 million has been collectively raised! District agencies are well on the way to achieving the $1.2 million goal.  

This year, our very own Director Quincy L. Booth had the distinct honor to serve as chairman of the DC One Fund. Because of his leadership, agencies banded together to host festive events to generate support for amazing charitable causes. DOC is especially proud to have surpassed our fundraising goal for another year and we celebrated our accomplishment at our annual Holiday Feast.

If you haven't made a donation already, there is still time! Please visit www.onefund.dc.gov and make a pledge. The online portal will officially close December 28, 2018 .  
2018 in Review
2018 was a year of many successes for DOC. We expanded programming and support services for inmates and employees, recruited three classes of correctional officers (one of them the largest in recent history), hosted celebrities and dignitaries inside on facilities for Empowerment Sessions, and the Honor Guard Unit won the annual Law Enforcement Week competition. 2018 was also a year of new beginnings with the openings of our Center for Professional Development & Learning (CPDL) and the READY CENTER (Resources to Empower and Develop You) as well as the relocation of the Video Visitation Center (VVC).

Special thanks to our outstanding and hardworking employees who made all of these accomplishments possible. Let's keep the momentum going for 2019!

Check out these snapshots that were captured from events throughout the year!
Tis' the Season to Serve
