The Council is a volunteer organization that helps assure that Department of Corrections policies, procedures and proposed legislation are responsive to the concerns of crime victims and their families. The Department seeks to empower victims by offering this opportunity for involvement.
The Council meets quarterly, most often at Central Office in Helena, but occasionally the members tour a DOC facility elsewhere in Montana. Meetings are open to the public and new members are always welcome.
Voting members must be crime victims or have a close association with victim issues. The DOC Director appoints new voting members following nomination by a current member. Prospective voting members are asked to demonstrate a commitment to attend meetings and participate in committee work. The Department of Corrections reimburses voting members for mileage and meals associated with attendance.
Non-voting members include staff of various Department of Corrections facilities, programs and divisions, staff of the Attorney General’s Office of Victim Services and Restorative Justice, crime victims, county victim/witness advocates, members of victim services groups, and other interested people. The DOC staff liaison appoints non-voting members.
