Rocco Pozzi who is also the Probation Commissioner stated that it has been very interesting. They have a vocational training center plan. There should be a transitional plan for the people when they walk out the door, back into the community, so that they can continue what they started inside. He does not want it to be a revolving door, he does not want them to come back. He would like to set up job referrals, make sure they have a residence to go to, and see what kind of residence it is. Many programs had gotten cut because of the budget. He believes they need to do more with the people they are getting, than they are doing now. It will be a challenge to convince the community leaders that it is as much their responsibility, as it is

the correction department’s, to try to get the individuals who have served all their time, into programs. Being the Probation Commissioner as well as the Corrections Commissioner, he knows both sides so it is easy to meld them together to reach reasonable solutions. The New York State Department of Corrections and Probation have both written that it is acceptable for Rocco Pozzi to be Commissioner of both departments.

Legislator Spreckman made a motion to approve the resolution confirming the appointment of Rocco Pozzi as the Corrections Commissioner and was seconded by Legislator Pinto. The motion was carried by a vote of 7-0.
