Delaware Department of Correction Commissioner to Step Down Later This Month

Commissioner Monroe Hudson will step down later this month from his current role as the head of the Delaware Department of Correction (DOC) after more than thirty five years of service in law enforcement and corrections. Terra Taylor, Deputy Commissioner of the DOC, will serve as Acting Commissioner until a permanent replacement is nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Delaware Senate. Governor John Carney issued a statement congratulating and thanking Monroe for his tireless commitment to making Delaware a safer and stronger place. The governor also thanks Terra for her willingness to step into this role. He is confident her years of experience within the Department of Correction — from her time as a Probation Officer to Chief of Community Corrections to Deputy Commissioner — will make her a strong leader for the Department.
