Visionary Leadership: Director Heidi Washington on Embracing Reform and Innovation
Episode 11
Monday, 30 March, 2026
In this episode of the 360 Justice Podcast, hosts Tony Turpin and Ken McGinnis sit down with Michigan Department of Corrections Director Heidi Washington to explore how modern corrections is evolving and what it takes to lead large, complex systems. Washington shares how her experience working with policymakers shaped a practical, relationship-driven approach to solving real operational challenges, from staffing and training to funding and long-term planning. Listeners will hear how Michigan DOC emphasizes culture change, invests in people, and expands opportunities that make incarceration more productive and reentry more successful. The discussion also highlights innovative education and skilled-trades initiatives - including the highly successful Vocational Village - emerging trends affecting incarcerated populations, and how a mission-focused corrections career can have a meaningful impact on public safety and lives.
