Opening Message
Welcome to the April Press Release! We hope everyone had fun with our little April Fools’ press release last month, but this one is the real deal! Despite it being a quieter month for us here at the department in the public eye, rest assured that we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to plan big things!
SADOC is taking significant steps to contribute to and protect Mother Earth. Not only have we hosted an Earth Month event, but we’re also currently in the process of renovating SADOC into a more green and sustainable facility. We plan to include integrating renewable energies, such as solar panels, to power our operations and reduce our ecological footprint.

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 April 2024
Correctional Officer II Oscar Thorpe - #1087
You can praise an officer here if you have anything good to say about a DOC employee!
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?
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
Looking back, what are memorable achievements from your service so far?
For me, so far, my most memorable achievement is joining the HR department. I had some initial reservations about the paperwork involved, but in the short time I've been with the division I have found it incredibly rewarding to be able to assist in guiding new hires in their journey and filing paperwork to ensure the smooth operation of the department. I look forward to continuing this divisional journey.
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
My next goals within the department are to continue progressing within the ranks as well as trying to make an impact on my fellow officers and the inmates we handle every day. I want each and every one of them to feel as though they are being treated equally, fairly, and reasonably. My long term goal within the department, however, is certainly to make Supervisor one day and be able to more closely work with officers and help to shape them into the future of the department. There are so many supervisors I worked with that have helped shape me into the officer I am and there's nothing I would like more than to be able to do the same for others.
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
Don't be afraid to ask questions and get involved, don't hold yourself back out of fear that you can't. If you have doubts, ask for assistance and then try. By doing that, you'll look back one day and realize you've accomplished far more than you may have ever thought possible. Everyone within the department is incredibly willing and helpful in assisting you along the way.
Visitation
Has your wife, brother, husband, sister, mother, uncle, friend, or enemy ever been arrested and brought to SADOC? Well, you can visit them!

Inmate of the Month
Frank Gallant
Known as the “most dangerous inmate of the month”
- 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 feel like the city is in a recession, income is low jobs are hard to get, and when you start off being raised in the ghetto it's hard to get out of there, there's no programs to help us get out of there, they are set up for failure and do not help us succeed, so it's just a loop, we make good money doing what we do so we keep doing it.
- What's your favorite thing about DOC?
- You never know who you are going to run into in here, without the threats of weapons and other threats from the outside, a lot of things can get sorted out in here.
- What's your least favorite thing?
- This place is really dirty, and I feel like there’s not a lot to do and I feel like people get all their stamps taken after they do all the work for them.
- If you could change one thing about DOC, what would it be?
- I’d like to see some more activities in here, instead of staring at blank walls at the end of the day we have to take our mind off of all of the years we are spending in here, it gets pretty boring after a while when we are doing nothing, and the stamps aren’t really worth much.
- What would you do if you were Warden for a day?
- Every cellmate would have a number, and that number would correspond with a locker and they wouldn’t have to wait at the front desk to get their stuff, so they can go to their locker and get their stuff out.
- Is there someone or something you miss while being in jail?
- I miss my family, the gang that I’m with, that’s my family and when I’m in here I can’t help them, and I don’t have any communication with them, and it drives me nuts because they could be in the worst position possible, and I can’t help them out.
- Is there anything you'd like to tell people?
- Stay loyal, stay true to yourself and your family.
April Events Highlight
Celebrating Earth Month
SADOC has been actively pursuing various initiatives to contribute to a more sustainable Earth, starting with smaller measures such as using LED lights and promoting recycling. Additionally, we have introduced greenhouses in the prison yard, allowing inmates to engage in planting, which fosters a connection to nature and underscores our commitment to environmental learning. Looking ahead, SADOC plans to install solar panels on the roof of our prison facility. This project is aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and establishing SADOC as a leader in environmental initiatives within the city. The installation of these solar panels is planned for the near future, showcasing our ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.
The last week of Earth Month was celebrated with a dinner hosted by SADOC, SAGOV, and Weazel at the Vineyard on Sunday, April 28, 2024. The event featured a raffle for an electric car (Ominis e-GT), where attendees could donate recyclables in exchange for raffle tickets. The overwhelming public participation led to the collection of 2,782 recyclable items, including 2,578 plastic bottles, 39 glass bottles, 54 aluminium cans, 95 metal items, 4 batteries, and 12 pieces of old clothing. All of these items collected will be sent to a recycling facility for repurposing.

Correctional Officer Spotlight
- What is your most memorable moment while serving as a corrections officer for the SADOC?
Where do you see yourself in 3 months time?I've had so many interesting and memorable moments since joining DOC, but probably the most dramatic is when I was held hostage in the cell-block over some ice cream, though thanks to Lucy Fox's incredible negotiation I got out safe and with an interesting story to tell.
What is your favorite thing about being a corrections officer at the SADOC?In 3 months time I would hopefully be CO2 or CO3 and be able to apply to things like CERT to help out more and I'd want to progress more in the divisons I'm already apart of like PSYCH, CMT and CK9 to help out more where needed!I love the variety that it brings me, I've done things from training a cat to follow commands and go through an obstacle course and treating all kinds of injuries in the cell block to doing insane transports and exploring the city through a different angle.
