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?
Last month, I was honored to receive the Rising Star award, which truly motivated me to continue pushing myself even further. One of the highlights of my service was receiving the Bleeding Heart ribbon after responding to a Code 1 emergency at the Alta Street Apartments—an incident that tested our teamwork and readiness. I’ve proudly completed two months of service with the Correctional Emergency Response Team, earning a promotion to CERT Operator, as well as two months with Correctional Field Training division, where I achieved the rank of Instructor. I'm especially proud of my growth across both divisions. Most recently, I was promoted to Senior Corrections Officer, which has been a major milestone in my career at SADOC.
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
My next goals are to continue advancing within all my divisions. I'm aiming to earn the ranks of Senior CERT Operator and Senior Instructor within CFT. These accomplishments will help me become eligible for the Supervisor-in-Training program, which I plan to begin soon, with the next goal of being promoted to Corporal. I’m committed to continuing my development and taking on greater leadership responsibilities within the department.
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
My advice is simple: don’t do crime, stay patient through the recruitment process, and always set goals for yourself. SADOC is a great place to gain valuable work experience, build lasting friendships, and learn skills that will help you succeed in any career path. If you're willing to put in the effort and stay dedicated, the rewards are absolutely worth it.
May the Fore-sight be with you
Or not that far away really unless you count Sandy Shores as far away.
In Bantha-Broke Penitentiary you can C3-PO our results in reform. We believe in second chances because, after all, even Vader turned back to the light. Through our Felon Reformation Program (no longer referred to as Program 66), we aim to ensure that no ones future is frozen in carbonite or leaving them feel like they're on the edge of a Sarlacc pit.
If you find yourself incarcerated then speak to a Parole Trooper, just please no jedi mind tricks to try get your parole approved.

Recruitment Event
On Saturday, May 17th 2025, the San Andreas Department of Corrections opened its gates to the public in a rare and welcome show of transparency and opportunity. Starting at 8:00PM and running for two hours, the walk in interviews aimed to bolster recruitment and showcase the department's professional standards.
Held at the SADOC public parking grounds, It was transformed into a makeshift recruitment fair. Booth tents lined the area, staffed by correctional officers tasked with conducting initial background checks on interested candidates. These checks served as a filter, ensuring only applicable candidate's proceeded to the next stage.
Past the screening area, attendees were directed to interview tents. Each with desks and chairs, creating a structured yet welcoming environment. There, candidates were individually questioned by HR officers, giving them the chance to make their case and ask questions about life outside the department.
Adding to the spectacle was an impressive DOC fleet display, featuring a range of operational vehicles. From transport vans to tactical response units, the line up was both a visual attraction and a practical showcase of the tools SADOC uses daily. Officers stood by to explain the purpose of each display, offering insight into the multifaceted responsibilities of their department.
The event offered more than just job prospects, it was a glimpse behind the scenes of a critical public safety institution. For those who showed up, it was an evening filled with opportunity, professionalism, and the promise of a new career path.

Inmate of the Month
Lola Devalera & Ophelia Kay
- 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?
- Lola: We are in here because we were trying to get rid of a ugly ass man who was harassing woman, so you know what, I do illegal things because I don't think that the cops can do justice, and if they are trying to do justice it'll just take too long by the time they do justice, they would have gone to harass more woman.
Ophelia: I do illegal things mostly because legal life is boring, sometimes you just have to be a little bit naughty.
- What's your favorite thing about DOC?
- Lola: My favorite thing about DOC is that I just have so many rooms and I have my own living room, I have my own back garden, my own helipad and I am here with the Girlies, what more could I ask for.
Ophelia: My favorite thing about DOC is catching up with all of my friends, it is like a little reunion.
- What's your least favorite thing?
- Lola: First of all the smell, second of all this outfit, like ew, where are the pink jumpsuits, I wish I could choose, third of all where are the Girlies' jail cell, I mean, what the hell, I can't sleep without my teddy bear.
Ophelia: My least favorite thing, yeah I agree, the smell and the jumpsuits, they are very ugly.
- If you could change one thing about DOC, what would it be?
- Lola: Pink jumpsuits, I would like silk sheets 100%, maybe like a hair stylist coming in and doing our hair, or someone doing our nails, spa day, hot tub, a sandbox.
Ophelia: Pink jumpsuits, bedazzled even.
- What would you do if you were Warden for a day?
- Lola: I were Warden for a day, I would let all of the prisoners run free, like purge, and I would like make a mandatory talent show like have people like sing and dance.
Ophelia: If I was Warden for a day, erm I would probably kill most of the people in prison to be honest, like that deserved it.
- Is there someone or something you miss while being in jail?
- Lola: I miss my electric toothbrush, I mean like why do you guy not have electric toothbrushes, you know what I mean? Also I miss my pookie Collie, my husband, the way he wears his "I heart LS" and it's like "Lola Smile, not Los Santos", when he says "Get the fuck out of my car", oh god pookie I miss you.
Ophelia: I mean my pookie as well, I had a blossoming relationship coming in today and I don't know how it will be when I get out because I was trying to be as legal as possible, and not get into trouble, so I just hope he can forgive me and understand.
- Why do you think you're in here so often?
- Lola: That would be a good question for Stevie, Stevie is in here all the time.
Ophelia: Ok, first of all I'm not even in here that often, that's kinda wild that question.
- Is there anything you'd like to tell people?
- Lola: I'd like to tell people that yes, I am still continuing my skin care routine, yes I am still beautiful, yes my boobs are in fact fake and no I will not be giving you the name of the surgeon, I'm gatekeeping that unless you are a Girlie, you know hit me up.
Ophelia: We may be in jail but we are still slaying, we are still celebrities, we're still the bad bitches on top.
PR Team Spotlight
✨ PR Team Spotlight ✨
Each month, we like to highlight a member of the Public Relations (PR) team to show off all of the hard work they do and to help the community to get to know us better. For this month’s spotlight, we would like to introduce you to Corporal Jeff Cooper!
Throughout Jeff's time in PR, he has assisted with writing sections of our monthly press releases, attended our monthly meetings, and helped to advertise and assist with events! His commitment has made a lasting impact, helping the DOC community continue to thrive!
We asked Jeff a few questions about his experience in PR:
What made you decide to join PR?
What is your favorite project you’ve worked on so far?My first Supervisor told me that it was a good division to learn something different to the rest of DOC, and while I'm not much of an author I thought there could be some valuable experience to glean.
What do you look forward to as you continue your time in PR?I like doing our short interviews for employee of the month. I love being able to recognize other employees for their wonderful contributions and they are normally in quite a good mood after they've been announced.
Thank you, Jeff, for your amazing and continued contributions!I just hope to help wherever possible, my skillset in this division is not great, but I'd love to learn and grow.

Closing Message from the Warden
And that ends our May Press release. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or anything you can find my contact info just below here.
It has been another amazing month at Bolingbroke with many deserved promotions ensuring that both the command and high command team grow. With summer looming right around the corner we have also packed up our winter gear and cleaned off our summer shorts.
The recent bus stop addition to our front parking lot has made it so that recently released inmates can find an easier way home (or to my store) so we're finding far less trouble from people hanging around the front.
Although the expression is usually suns out, guns out, we have found that things have calmed down and we have dropped to the lowest alert status in a while! Lets hope it continues throughout the summer so I don't have to wear such bulky kevlar.
