Such a wonderful initiative dedicated to an extraordinary man. We miss you, Sheriff David Jones. 💜

We are incredibly honored to announce the launch of the Sheriff David Jones Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Sheriff David Jones was instrumental in the growth of this Ministry and in helping lay foundations that continue to impact lives in ways we are still seeing today. He was incredibly supportive of the work being done Within the Walls, Within the Families, and Within the Community, and he deeply loved both people and this community.

Created in his honor, this scholarship exists to encourage and support students whose lives have been impacted by incarceration as they pursue their future.

Through God Comes Justice Ministries will award a $500 scholarship for the 2026–2027 school year to a graduating senior planning to attend a college, university, or trade school.

The 2026–2027 scholarship will be awarded through TGCJ Ministries. Future scholarship opportunities will transition through the San Angelo Area Foundation, and updated information will be provided as it becomes available.

We know that circumstances do not define a person’s future, and we believe hope can change generations!

Applications are now open and must be submitted no later than July 1, 2026.

🖥️- Visit our website at https://www.tgcjministry.com/ for full scholarship details and application information.

“Honoring a legacy. Investing in the next generation.”

Nothing inspires cleanliness more than unexpected guests.

Are you willing to take the first step?

In a controlled environment, far from public view, a devoted group of Corrections Officers answers this call daily.

• They are not driven by a desire for recognition.

• They are not motivated by a need for praise.

• They are inspired by the realization that someone needs to step up and serve our community from within the walls.

Become a part of our team at the Tom Green County Jail and experience the sense of fulfillment that comes with selfless service.

National Corrections Officers Week May 3 - 9, 2026 ~

We take this time to acknowledge the unwavering dedication of the men and women in our Detention Center, who work tirelessly within the confines of our jail. Their efforts, often overlooked, are essential to ensuring the safety, security, and overall well-being of our community. Corrections Officers do much more than oversee inmates; they uphold order, respond to crises, and contribute significantly to rehabilitation and accountability. Their professionalism and commitment are invaluable.

This week also serves as a chance for our community to express its gratitude. A simple “thank you,” a note of appreciation, or any gesture of support can have a profound impact. Let us not forget that a safe community is built on the foundation of a robust county jail.

To all our corrections officers: we extend our heartfelt thanks for your service, integrity, and unwavering dedication to Tom Green County. 🩶

Happy retirement day to Officer Rhonda Whatley!
She is hanging up her uniform after 23 years of dedicated service to the Tom Green County Jail. Rhonda started as a Commissary Clerk in June of 2003 and worked her way up to Bookkeeper, Corrections Officer, and finally Mailroom Officer. We’re going to miss her calm demeanor in this fast paced facility. We wish her the absolute best in her retirement. 🫡
