The ceremony served as a testament to the dedication and accomplishment of the individuals being recognized, according to organizers.
In all, 25 staff members were acknowledged for the hard work and dedication to the department. Promotions included correctional captains, lieutenants, sergeants, counselors, and other specialized positions. Each were presented with certificates of promotion to their new roles.
Division of Adult Institutions (DAI) Director Gena Jones and acting Warden K. Thornton congratulated those being recognized.
