Roosevelt’s exemplary leadership and enormous yet quiet impact led to outstanding results as he oversees the DAPO’s Community Transition Program and Transitional Case Management Program.
It is a big job. He has 110 staff in 35 prisons across the state and Division Headquarters. His staff is responsible for initiating the reentry process for eligible inmates.
