Welcome to the August 2025 Press release for SADOC!

As the summer draws to its conclusion, the days shorten but Bolingbroke still shines as bright.
From celebrating national freedom on Independence Day to highlighting the outstanding contributions of our officers and the unforgettable stories of those behind our vast walls.
This month we've gone through challenges and tribulations, working through new policies and overcoming obstacles to ensure the department remains strong.
Please enjoy this months press release!
Independence Day

Independence Day is a time to celebrate the freedom and values The United States of America was built on. It reminds us of the strength and unity of our communities. At the Department of Corrections, we take this time to honor those who serve and protect that freedom every day. We thank all staff for their continued hard work and dedication, even during the holidays. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate the effort you bring to the job each day. We hope everyone had a safe, meaningful Fourth of July and found a moment to relax and enjoy the holiday!
Employee of the Month
Each month here at the San Andreas Department of Corrections we like to bestow an honor on this month's best performing officer who has shown time and time again that they put maximum effort and commitment into their work. The officer selected for this prestigious award has proved themselves as a representation of how each officer working for our department should strive to be.

Questions for the Employee of the Month
We like to ask the employee of the month a few questions to get their perspective on the job and what makes a great officer, below are a few answers to common questions by our Employee of the Month:

Looking back, what are memorable achievements from your service so far?
One of my most memorable achievements was that I successfully passed all of my training in a short time, thanks to the knowledge and experience I already brought with me. This also allowed me to quickly join CMT and start contributing positively, and it's really rewarding to see how my prior expertise aligned with my current role, as it also gave me the confidence to take new challenges early in my new career.

Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
My next goal is to join CERT and have more responsibilities within the department. I'm aiming to help the operations of DOC in a way that's gonna benefit the department and my coworkers/friends.

Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
Try to be yourselves and as human as you can be, we're not robots, even if you make small mistakes, you can easily learn and adapt to new situations.

Visitation at DOC is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, including holidays!
There is a requirement for at least two Correctional Officers to be free to assist in visitation so if some aren't immediately available then feel free to come back later.

The visitation rules are as follows:
  • No physical contact

Phone Calls
    Image
      When an inmate arrives with a brand new iFruit 69 they will have it quickly confiscated from them. However, if they wish to retain their phone till they enter the cellblock to make a phone call then they can request it.

      The 10-15 can use the phone call for any number of reasons such as letting their mom know they're going to be in prison for a few years, telling their significant other to come to visit them, or getting a friend to feed their pet while they're incarcerated.

      Phone calls are a privilege, not a right. Any Correctional Officer has the right to decline you for a phone call for any reason they see fit.
      Divisional Spotlight

      Divisional Highlight: Correctional Services


      Correctional Services is one of the lesser known divisions at DOC, but they have quite an important job. Correctional Services is tasked with attending the various court cases in the city and ensuring a safe environment for everyone involved. We had a very busy weekend in the middle of the month, with 7 court cases between Saturday and Sunday. This brought about a challenge in making sure we had enough staff to ensure safety both at court and the prison. Commander Alex LaFleur took charge of the situation, expertly utilizing the people available to her. She was able to maintain readiness and kept a clear channel of communication between everyone. Under her leadership, everything at court went fantastic and everyone had the opportunity to plead their cases.
      Image
      While that weekend was one of the busiest times for court, we get several requests a month to provide our services. Court is an invaluable tool for members of the public to ensure the fairness and validity of charges placed against them. While we only have criminal court here in San Andreas, it is available to any member of the public. If you've got charges you think were wrongfully placed on you, you can start a court case to have your grievances heard! You may even see some of our employees helping out around the courthouse.

      Closing Message from the Warden
      And that ends our June Press release. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or anything you can find my contact info just below here.
      I do hope you enjoyed reading this month's press release! I for one am looking forward to the colder weather so we don't need to spend as much to cool down the cellblock, and the inmates stop complaining about being thirsty.
