When newly named Director David Shinn takes over the state Department of Corrections later this month, he’ll be leading an agency facing a number of challenges.

The Show discussed some of these challenges and some potential solutions with Terry Stewart, a former director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, and Kevin Kempf, a former director of the Idaho Department of Corrections and the executive director of the Association of State Correctional Administrators.
