This week, we recognize Correctional Officers Week, and I want to take a moment to say how truly grateful I am for the men and women who serve at the Bell County Detention Center.

The work you do each and every day does not go unnoticed. It takes strength, patience, and a level of dedication that most people never see. You show up, you stand firm, and you carry out a job that is both challenging and incredibly important to our community.

But to me, you are more than just correctional officers—you are my family. I see your commitment, your sacrifices, and the way you support one another like family. I couldn’t be more proud to stand beside you.

Thank you for everything you do.

One thing I see often as a jailer is the very real struggle many inmates face with their mental health. Childhood trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health conditions are common realities, and the emotional weight of those struggles doesn’t disappear behind jail walls.

Through a partnership with Bekah Brooks and Sozo Counseling we have been able to implement a group counseling model that provides inmates with knowledge, tools, and resources to face these issues.

Our hope is that these conversations and tools don’t only help them while they’re incarcerated, but also equip them for a healthier, more successful future when they return to the community.

Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and reflection. It serves as a reminder—today and every day—of the importance of kindness, compassion, and respect in all that we do.

Grateful for the kitchen workers and staff. Everyone had a great meal.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and blessed Easter. ✝️🌷
