  I appreciate and enjoyed the opportunity to fill in and act as the DOC Commissioner until our permanent leader was selected. This is an era of unique challenges to not only the KyDOC but all correctional facilities and beyond. I am thankful that our current Commissioner, Cookie Crews, was selected. She has the right skills at the right time to lead us through these challenges.
