National Correctional Officers Week May 2nd - 8th, 2021

Sunday, May 2nd marked the beginning of an annual observance dedicated to the mostly unseen work performed daily by dedicated individuals across the nation. We believe it is essential to pause and honor the diligent service carried out by these men and women in the field of Corrections.

National Correctional Officers Week May 2020

This week, we pause to honor our correctional officers throughout the nation and to say, "thank you". These men and women face many different risks in their daily routines, much of which goes unseen by the public and thus often not adequately recognized. The stress of an workday spent inside of a locked building, an environment of close quarters and the continual dangers which officers must always be on alert for, create not merely a "tough job" but one which takes a toll on the human spirit.
