Welcome to the August 2025 Press Release!
Summer has come to an abrupt close and with that we have been taking time to reflect on the SADOC as a whole while considering some changes to better the future of the department.

Please enjoy this months press release!


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.
Employee of the Month August 2025

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?
Becoming the Assistant Head of PR and Senior Cert operative are up there, but, the one thing that stands out the most to me has got to be meeting my fellow coworker's!

Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
My next step is to focus on my work and work with the current supervisory team so I can join them!

Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
ASK QUESTIONS!!! That’s one thing that’s always helped me and everyone here at The SADOC is extremely helpful and will always do their best to ensure you’re understanding everything to the best of your ability!

Visitation

Visitation Information!

Has your wife, brother, husband, sister, mother, uncle, friend, or enemy ever been arrested and brought to SADOC? Well, you can visit them!
Two Irish meeting with a Chinese
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
  • No whispering
  • No passing of items. Items that wish to be exchanged will be checked beforehand for contraband.
  • Maximum time is 1 hour ((15 minutes OOCLY))
For those that like to exploit visitation, we have a blacklist in place that restricts certain individuals, such as our MSIs, from being able to be visited or visit. Visitation is a benefit and can be declined for any number of reasons.
Inmate of the Month

DAMON SANDHILL


  • Note: In the interest of transparency, and being able to allow inmates to represent themselves this interview is direct quotes from the interviewed inmate and their quotes do not represent the SADOC's views and beliefs.
  • Why do you do illegal things?
    • Getting money baby!

  • What's your favorite thing about DOC?
    • Getting Released

  • What's your least favorite thing?
    • Probably when you get locked in the cell, and there is nothing to do but sleep.

  • If you could change one thing about DOC, what would it be?
    • I would fire Jeff, he gets me annoyed. Would add something new, more activities, maybe gambling.

  • What would you do if you were Warden for a day?
    • I would open those doors and let everyone out. Do some corrupt sh*t.

  • Is there someone or something you miss while being in jail?
    • I miss my driver's license.

  • Why do you think you're in here so often?
    • That's a bold assumption that I'm in here often, but SD is hating on me dude.

  • Is there anything you'd like to tell people?
    • Come to DOC guys, the food is very cheep.

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.
      New changes to Hour Requirements

      The San Andreas Department of Corrections has implemented a change to our minimum on-duty requirement. Effective immediately, employees are now required to clock a minimum of 2.5 hours per week, reduced from the previous 5-hour per week requirement.

      This adjustment is designed to provide staff with greater flexibility while still ensuring operational coverage across all facilities. By reducing the minimum requirement, we recognize the diverse scheduling needs of our personnel, while maintaining our commitment to safety, accountability, and professional service.
