State prisons director retiring
Terry Collins, director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, is retiring, effective, Jan. 31.
Gov. Ted Strickland, who formerly worked as a prison psychologist, said in a press release on Friday, Dec. 18, that he had accepted Collins’ decision and praised Collins’ work.
“He (Collins) has managed a corrections system that is well beyond capacity and has dealt with very difficult economic circumstances in his department while showing great concern for the safety and security of his employees,” Strickland said.
Collins will leave the job after 33 years of state service.
