👏 A SHOUT-OUT TO OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES SUPERSTARS! 👏

A huge thank-you to all of our non-uniformed staff and the staff from other worksites who show up, pitch in, and help keep things running every single day!

It takes a team to make a facility run, and not every contribution happens in uniform or within the walls of one location. Whether you're supporting daily operations, helping cover a need, or stepping in wherever an extra hand is needed, your flexibility, teamwork, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

We appreciate the people who are willing to step up, lend a hand, and support one another, even when it means going above and beyond their usual responsibilities.

Every role matters. Every helping hand makes a difference. And every one of you is appreciated!

Thank you for showing up for NSCF!!

Good morning, Everyone!

Why did the scarecrow win an award?

Because he was outstanding in his field!

On a more serious note, let’s all take a page from the scarecrow’s book and strive to be outstanding in our own fields! Whether it’s supporting a coworker, mentoring a new officer, stepping up when needed, or simply giving your best each day, the little things we do make a big difference.

Success isn’t always about being the best; it’s about being willing to grow, learn, and give your best. Let’s continue to challenge ourselves, support one another, and take pride in the work we do.

Have a great morning, everyone, and remember… let’s be so good at what we do that we’re outstanding in our field, too!

After much planning, we're thrilled to share that the new Kids-A-Part playroom at Northern State Correctional Facility is set up and ready to welcome families. Our team recently transformed the space with toys, games, books, art supplies, and plenty of care to create a warm, child-friendly environment where families can connect during visits.

It is our pleasure to recognize COI Monfette as our Employee of the Month!

Dan consistently demonstrates exceptional care, professionalism, and attention to detail in his work processing mail. He approaches his responsibilities with diligence and takes the time to identify patterns, recognize potential concerns, and flag contact restrictions that may need further review. His ability to look beyond the immediate task helps ensure important information is not missed and potential issues are addressed in a timely manner.

What truly sets Dan apart is his proactive mindset and commitment to communication. When he identifies information that may require additional action, he makes sure it is referred to the Intel Team for review. Dan understands the importance of sharing relevant information and recognizes how his role supports the larger mission of maintaining a safe and secure environment.

His thoroughness, pride in his work, and willingness to go above and beyond make a meaningful difference for the facility and the surrounding community.

Please join us in congratulating COI Monfette on being selected as our Employee of the Month. We appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Congratulations to Amy Tardif, NSCF’s Employee of the Quarter! 🎉

On behalf of the Management Team, we are pleased to recognize Amy Tardif as our Employee of the Quarter.

Amy consistently goes above and beyond in her role, managing a wide range of important administrative responsibilities that help keep daily facility operations running smoothly. From weekly canteen duties, yarn orders, incarcerated individual accounts, and package orders to maintaining OMS files, CORE paperwork, and ensuring the accuracy of court-related documents, Amy’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly appreciated.

Amy is also a trusted resource for staff, always willing to answer questions, provide assistance, and step in wherever needed. While much of her work happens behind the scenes, her impact is felt throughout the facility every day.

Her reliability, professionalism, dedication, and willingness to support others make her an invaluable member of the NSCF team.

Please join us in congratulating Amy on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you, Amy, for all that you do, we appreciate you! 👏

Today, the Vermont Department of Corrections recognizes Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. It is an opportunity to reflect on the resilience of Indigenous communities, acknowledge the history that has shaped our nation, and recognize the importance of respect, understanding, and continued learning. We honor the Indigenous peoples whose heritage and enduring presence remain an important part of Vermont and our communities today.
