Arizonans for Transparency and Accountability in Correction

The mission of ATAC is to restore public trust in the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) through the formation and implementation of an Independent Corrections Ombudsman and Citizens' Oversight and Advisory Committee (COAC) . The implementation of the Independent Ombuds and COAC will institute transparency and accountability in the ADCRR and increase public safety while ensuring proper care for the 38,000+ men and women housed in the ADCRR and 9,500+ staff.

Arizonans for Transparency and Accountability in Corrections focuses on conducting research, analysis and reports, public-awareness campaigns, community organizing, and legislative outreach to create legislation and implement the Office of the independent Corrections Ombudsman as well as a legislative citizen-lead oversight and advisory committee and to ensure the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry is meeting its statutory mandates.
