I only know retired and former members of McGlaughlin (?) Youth Detention Center, but I do know the culture there was very different, and far more rehabilitation-oriented, than was the culture of the Corrections Department. 
The people I knew were sticklers for holding inmates accountable for their behavior, but also sought to steer their charges - as best they could - toward leading responsible, lawful lives after their release. If this is the culture Director Williams brings with him to the Department of Corrections, then let's hope he can move DOC in that direction.. Good luck to him!
