Do we think K-9 Officer Brandi can find the “missing student?” 👀

10/06/2026

This morning, Warden Minix, K-9 Team Sgt. Standridge and Lt. Bowen, and Lt. Harris had the pleasure of visiting a classroom that has been learning all about law enforcement! 👮‍♂️🐾 Warden Minix spent some time teaching the students about the world of corrections, what we do each day, the programs we offer, the different roles within our facility, and the important part Jackson County Corrections plays in serving and protecting our community.

We always enjoy opportunities like this to connect with our younger generation, answer their questions, and give them a look into a side of public safety they may not hear about as often.

As much fun as all the learning was, though, we think it’s safe to say there was one clear favorite… 😉
The students got to see Brandi, our human-tracking working K-9, in action as she tracked down one of their classmates! 🐕‍🦺👃 A big thank you to the teachers and students for allowing us to spend the morning with you. We had just as much fun as you did! 💙

Today, Warden Minix had the pleasure of speaking with Rotary Club of Jefferson about the programs we offer, our mission to reduce recidivism, and a special “coming soon” initiative that is currently in the works!

A big, huge thank you to the members of the Jefferson Rotary Club for their thoughtful questions, genuine interest, and hospitality. We truly appreciate every opportunity to share the happening here at Jackson County Corrections. We love sharing what we do because we care about our people, our community, and creating positive change. 💙

— Sgt. Sorrells! 👋

Sgt. Sorrells is a proud graduate of MCHS and a U.S. Army veteran, having served our country for eight years. His career in corrections began on January 3, 1993, at I.W. Davis, where he worked until September 2008. He then joined Jackson County Corrections, where he continues to serve today as the Food Services Sargent.

Outside of work, Sgt. Sorrells has been married for more than 23 years and is a proud father of two and grandfather of two. Family time is at the top of his list, along with cookouts, dancing, concerts, old-school wrestling, and car shows. If you really want to get him talking, ask him about cars! 🚘 He enjoys car audio and working on old-school trucks and cars. Some of his favorites include Lexus and Toyota, along with classic G-Bodies and GMC and Chevrolet square-body trucks.

With more than three decades in corrections and eight years of military service we’re proud to have Sgt. Sorrells as a valued part of the Jackson County Corrections team!
