Carrie Cochran
The National Institute of Corrections has invited Carrie Cochran, board chair of the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole, to join a committee tasked with developing new standards and training for pardons and parole organizations across the United States. The committee’s primary objective is to establish comprehensive standards and provide training resources that will enhance the decisionmaking process within pardons and parole organizations. By promoting structured decision-making, the committee aims to ensure fair and consistent outcomes while maintaining public safety and fostering successful reintegration into society. Through the Association of Parole Authorities International, the committee anticipates providing funding and technical support to states, ensuring the successful implementation of these new standards. Utah is one of five states invited to participate in the effort.
