Robin\u2019s career with the California Department of Corrections began on August 8, 1994, at Ventura Youth Correctional Facility (VYCF) where she was employed as a Parole Agent I.&nbsp; During her career at VYCF she was promoted to Supervising Casework Specialist in May 1998 and in July 2006, to Parole Agent III.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin was described as \u201ca bright shining light\u201d and will be remembered for her inspiration, positivity and generous spirit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was so many things to so many people, said DJJ Director Heather Bowlds. \u201cShe was a friend, a mentor, a teacher a motivator, a leader, a mother; and dedicated a great deal of her life to her job at VYCF.&nbsp; She will greatly be missed for her accomplishments with our youth and all of the staff.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sudden loss hit the VYCF staff particularly hard and on April 5, a special remembrance service was held for Robin at the Protestant chapel at Ventura. Memories were shared by staff from all parts of the institution who her knew her over her 28 year career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Hatter was remembered as the very heart and soul of the place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was described as having an \u201ceast coast swagger\u201d and \u201csouthern belle charm\u201d; a \u201cwarrior, mother, mentor, friend and bestie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being both a clinician and peace officer armed with a Masters in Social Work, Robin always espoused higher education and encouraged those under her tutelage towards upward mobility at each turn.&nbsp; She spearheaded VYCF\u2019s Social Work Internship Program, enabling interns to meet requirements to achieve their Masters in Social Work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin was supportive of various programs offered by our community stakeholders and volunteers.&nbsp; She also headed up the Kiwanis Key Club at VYCF, which helped youth \u201cdevelop the heart to serve and become a force for good.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was described as having an uncanny ability to make you feel special.&nbsp; She would always remember birthdays; celebrate marriages, births, new puppy family members, academic achievements, and holidays with cards, texts, gifts, or flowers.&nbsp; She was also there to support staff through loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As VYCF\u2019s Parole Agent III, Robin interfaced with every youth at Ventura when they went before the Board of Juvenile Hearings. \u201cThe compassion and dedication she extended to each youth was unparalleled,\u201d said Supervising Case Work Specialist Karette Fussell.&nbsp; \u201cShe cared deeply about their welfare, but was a realist and straight forward with them.&nbsp; She was their greatest cheerleader, but held them accountable with stern decisiveness when necessary.&nbsp; Robin\u2019s meticulous balance of discipline and compassion was legendary. Many youth who left years ago continued to call her to give updates on how they were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A formal memorial service honoring her memory is planned on June 3 at the Camarillo Community Church, 1322 Las Posas Road, Camarillo, California at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DJJ legacy to live on at CDCR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2023\/10\/v25-image-6.png\" alt=\"Ventura Youth Correctional Facility Staff-\u00a0 Left to Right; Amoya Anderson, Marisol Vigil, Mayra Moreno, Mayra Ramirez, Katherine Garcia, Christa Lizano, Khalil Ealy.\" class=\"wp-image-3834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2023\/10\/v25-image-6.png 711w, https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/juvenile-justice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2023\/10\/v25-image-6-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ventura Youth Correctional Facility Staff-&nbsp; Left to Right; Amoya Anderson, Marisol Vigil, Mayra Moreno, Mayra Ramirez, Katherine Garcia, Christa Lizano, Khalil Ealy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The realignment of DJJ will be completed by June 30, 2023.&nbsp; Although, some staff are retiring, many of the our peace officers who helped with the success of DJJ, like these at Ventura Youth Correctional Facility are looking forward to bringing their skills and continuing their careers with CDCR\u2019s Division of Adult Institutions, Probation or Division of Adult Parole Operations.
