The Department of Corrections (DOC) is entitled to sovereign immunity. The DOC lacks sufficient attributes to render it an independent going concern. Despite the breadth of its statutory powers, the character of those powers reveals that the legislature did not intend the DOC to be anything other than an arm of the state. The legislature has not expressly waived the DOC's sovereign immunity. This section is not an express waiver of the DOC's tort immunity but rather addresses the DOC's capacity to be sued. Mayhugh v.
