Nick is a highly decorated corrections professional whose skill, competence and thorough understanding of the corrections processes and duties of Sheriff exceeds the high benchmarks necessary to keep our community safe and return offenders to our streets as productive and contributing members of our society.
In 2019, we partnered up with the Hampden County District Attorney’s office to implement a strategy to help the young people being charged with serious crimes.
On our end, we opened a youthful offender pod at the House of Corrections where we developed programming designed to help a young person break free from the behaviors that brought them to us in the first place.
And early results indicate that a therapeutic approach while maintaining the firm but fair atmosphere helps these young people leave our custody to explore their options as law-abiding adults rather than reoffending and returning to jail.
