Welcome to the June 2023 Press Release!
June is one of best months at SADOC as we fully endorse Pride Month and we hosted the bi-yearly Awards Ceremony. We have two sections in the press release this month to highlight both of these as well as the standard inmate of the month, employee of the month and statistics articles.
Be sure to congratulate the winners in the Kourtnies award ceremony article, everyone did a great job this year!
We hope you enjoy reading this month's press release!
Pride Month At DOC

Pride Month

Look how fabulous we are!
Junes departure not only means we are over halfway through the year, but also marks the end of another pride month. Pride month marks a time in which we can celebrate the LGBTQ+ community whilst also reflecting and commemorating on their history and progress.

The Department of Corrections holds a special place in its heart for pride month, as it's an important time for many of our inmates and officers. The Department of Corrections strives to welcome individuals from all walks of life and from all backgrounds, without prejudice or judgement, so it's important to us that we provide as much visibility to the LGBTQ+ community as much as possible during pride month.

Whilst pride month is a celebration, it is also about highlighting the difficulties still faced by the LGBTQ+ community. Struggles for acceptance and societal freedoms still exist throughout our state, and together we can be the beacons of light that cast out the shadows of isolation and bigotry.

Courage, Discipline, Respect, Integrity, Loyaly, Selfess Commitment ... and, Equality

Love is Love

Sergeant Randy Lee and Correctional Officer III Herrman Wolff, endorsed by the San Andrea's Department of Corrections, set up an initiative to cover the cost of marriage licenses for ALL couples for the majority of June, and we are pleased to say that several couples were helped.

Pride month is intrinsically linked with love and the ability to freely express love, and it's this concept that the Public Relations Department for the Department of Corrections wanted to highlight. Actions that a single department take can benefit citizens across the whole state and much like love which knows no bounds, the good we can do often can far surpass the boundaries of our roles, or our "juro".

Words from our Officers

Pride has such a deep meeting to many of our officers and staff that we thought we should share across the state in the vain of ensuring all voices are heard this month and beyond:
Sergeant Gina Willow wrote: It's the one month of the year that I can be unapologetically myself. I don't have to hide behind anything. Pride is the one month that people come together, to love each other through the darkest and brightest times; to remember that life always gets better. Even when we can't see it.
Senior Correctional Officer II Aaliyah Jones wrote: Everyone kinda comes together regardless of their preferences or regardless if they are straight or not. I think it's just a month to appreciate everyone for being them.
Correctional Officer I Robert Pacer wrote: We take pride in accepting everybody. Being accepting and supporting each other as a family and as a team. I think that's important.
Correctional Officer III Herrman Wolff wrote: Pride to me is about visibility and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. It's important for all members of our community to felt seen and valued, and reminded that we can unabashedly be ourselves. DOC pride means the world to me because at its heart, the Department of Corrections is all about people, and it's welcoming of everyone.
Commander Maximillian Speed wrote: Treating all people, guards and inmates alike, the same and reminding ourselves when we clock on that we are all brothers and sisters. It does not matter who we love or where we come from. We all just have each other's backs.
Correctional Officer I Bella Williams wrote: I think pride is about acceptance and being yourself. It's a chance to be who you are without judgement, whilst also celebrating the community as a whole.
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 June 2023
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?
During my time here at SADOC one of the most notable achievements I have gathered is my rank as a supervisor which means I can help out lower ranking officers in situations and offer advice if they are unsure on things.

Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
Moving forward I hope to help train up the next generation of SADOC officers up to a high standard and to a point where they can look back on their work and be proud of what they have accomplished.

Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
To any future people considering a career at the SADOC, one word of advice I would give would be to be confident in the actions that you do make and if you are unsure to ask people with more experience for advice.

Visitation
Has your wife, brother, husband, sister, mother, uncle, friend, or enemy ever been arrested and brought to SADOC? Well, you can visit them!
Two people meeting with a friend
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.

  • 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?
    • I do illegal things because I am an advocate against corruption in any way, shape, or form, and it's super fun!

  • What's your favorite thing about DOC?
    • I love the atmosphere here, and so me of the guards are really nice!

  • What's your least favorite thing?
    • I hate sitting in cells and I hate when guards are super mean and take my stuff.

  • If you could change one thing about DOC, what would it be?
    • I would let all inmates have a radio and let them wear their hats and jewellery, and I would give out free stamps to inmates!

  • What would you do if you were Warden for a day?
    • The first thing I would do would be to add a zone for inmates to play with animals!

  • Is there someone or something you miss while in jail?
    • I miss hanging out with friends and having fun, it gets super isolating and lonely in here sometimes.

  • Why do you think you're in here so often?
    • I think I'm in here so often, because officers are corrupt and will look for any reason to put me in prison.

  • Is there anything you'd like to tell people?
    • What I would tell people is to never let others break your stride, and to keep on doing what you enjoy doing!

Public Tours

Tour DOC!

If you are an employee of another government agency or are a member of the public, then you have the opportunity to take a tour of the San Andreas Department of Corrections and learn more about what goes on in the prison!
Glorious SADOC!
A tour can be a great way to find out some more information if you are considering applying to the Department of Corrections, or even if you are one of our interdepartmental colleagues who wish to find out more about our department. We even allow groups to participate in a tour of the facility, provided each member of the group has signed the application form, and they meet the requirements.
