Dear Corrections1 Member,

May 3-9, 2020, is National Correctional Officers and Employees Week, which recognizes the contributions of correctional officers and personnel who work in jails, prisons and community corrections across the country.

We thank you for your service, especially during one of the most perilous times in the history of corrections. Your dedication, courage and commitment to maintaining the safety of both facilities and our communities does not go unnoticed.

Stay safe.
