Opening Message
Welcome to the March Press Release!
It seems as there was a little screwup with the press release that was released yesterday but everything is amended now.
March felt like an incredibly long Month at the department and many big things occurred such as the release and hiring of CCOs and mass recruitment of lots of new members of staff. Special shout out to Deputy Warden Schneider for her hard work the last month in assisting me not going insane.
This press release only covers a few of the events of the month!

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?
Looking back at my time here at DOC I think this would be a crowning achievement for me. We have so many wonderful people employed here at SADOC that it's truly hard to stand out from the rest. When the Employee of the Month award was about to be announced there was a plethora of names that first came to mind and I never thought I would be included among them. I sincerely thank the command team and the general staff from the bottom of my heart for all of their patience and support.
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
Moving forward it's hard to say what I would like to achieve next at SADOC. I've never really been a goal setter. I try my best to just come to work every day and support the loyal team of individuals I have around me to the best of my ability no matter what the task is.
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
The best advice I can give is to not look too far into the future. Enjoy the present and focus on the tasks in front of you that you can have an affect on today.
Divisional Spotlight - Correctional Field Training
- What is Correctional Field Training?
CFT is the DOC’s field training team that is responsible for training our officers here at the DOC. CFT trains our newest Correctional Trainee’s all the way through to Correctional Officer III. Each training is different and unique in their own ways. Almost all of our training is situational and designed to prevent or counter situations from escalating.
What is Correctional Field Training like?
The instructor-in-training is first shadowed by a senior instructor or a member of CFT command, they then teach the officers involved in the training what it's about and the rules of the training. Once they have instructed the officers on what to do, the training begins. The shadowing officer watches and follows the instructor-in-training
Sergeant Jimmithy Jemima, Chief Instructor wrote:The Correctional Field Training Division plays a vital role in enhancing the capabilities and effectiveness of the San Andreas Department of Corrections. Through its rigorous and comprehensive training programs, the Division ensures that correctional officers are well-prepared to face the complex and demanding challenges of their profession.

Special Award
Warden's Exemplary Service Award
Emily Whitehorse is one of those names that you may have heard of if you work in Los Santos, she started off working as an intern at Weazel News in May of 2021, she then joined the San Andreas State Government as an Intern in the Business Licensing Bureau July of 2021, later on in the month she was appointed as the "Interim Director of the Business Licensing Bureau", Emily then went on to progress through the State Government earning the trust of the Governors, by leading the Law Review Committee to its first election and the signing of the Constitution. Emily joined the San Andreas Department of Corrections on March 5th 2023. During her time here she has been amazing in her duties as one of our Correctional Custodian Officers, she has helped out where she can, and was amazing in assisting the San Andreas Department of Corrections during her time as Interim Assistant Governor, we can not thank Miss. Whitehorse enough and we cant wait to see what her next steps are in the department.
Emily Whitehorse wrote:It is truly an honor to receive such a prestigious award from such a distinguished individual as Warden Kourtney Lafleur. Throughout my tenure as a government director and brief role as Interim Assistant Governor, my priority has always been to ensure all departments are functioning at their best, and ensuring that the San Andreas State Government can assist our agencies where needed.
Partially as to why I have been working as a Correctional Custodian Officer has been to better expand my understanding of the Department of Corrections from the inside so that when making policy decisions that affect the Department of Corrections, I am making those decisions with a better understanding of what effects those choices will have on the department. (A position I hope to see other departments consider implementing.)
I am eternally grateful to all those whom continue to support my work in the department, and while I may not see myself as warden material, hope I to continue to be seen as a friendly face that is approachable to assist both within the Department of Corrections, and any external affirms employees may have.
Kourtney LaFleur wrote:I decided to award Miss Whitehorse this ribbon due to the amazing work she did during her time as Interim Governor. We had a very busy week of complaints, requests and strange requests. She did an amazing job attending all our meetings and requests, especially in the case when one of our officers was charged.
Miss Whitehorse went above and beyond the line of duty assisting the department during her tenure as Interim Governor and for that myself and the department are truly grateful.

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 only been working for a short amount of time so far, but my most memorable moment so far is my first "Arrest" so to speak. I detained someone for trying to steal a Government Security Vehicle from the parking lot.
What is your favorite thing about being a corrections officer at the SADOC?Hopefully, at CO2 or 3, and my off-shift businesses being prosperousSo far, in contrast to what I was doing before SADOC? Not getting shot at is a massive improvement.
Phone Calls
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.

Closing Message from the Warden
And that ends our March Press release. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or anything you can find my contact info just below here.
March was a very busy 31 days that felt far longer. My personal highlights was the April Fools meeting on April 1st where every member of Command received a promotion and we looked back at the last year.
We already reached the most employees we've ever had, 66, during March and we're only a few months away from hitting badge number 1000 which is an insane feat.
March has made me reflect on my tenure as Warden, looking at two new members of High Command that have worked their way up since I was appointed Warden.
Although I said it yesterday during our April Fools meeting I'll repeat it here: "If there’s one thing I learnt from the movie night (besides Woody Harrelson being a dilf), its you need to enjoy the little things. While we might not be the department with the flashiest cars, the best uniforms, we have something that other departments will never have, a sense of family."
I look forward to seeing what April has to offer!
