We are proud to share how Norris Unit is making a difference beyond the workplace! Our unit recently hosted a school supply giveaway for staff members’ children, from Pre-K through college. ✏️📓🎓
We understand that preparing for a new school year can be a lot for families, so we wanted to lend a helping hand. Whether a child is taking their first steps into Pre-K or heading off to college, we believe education, encouragement, and support matter at every level.

Help us congratulate Cpl. Lamb for employee of the month for June. He immediately responded to an incident where an officer was assaulted with a weapon. He did not hesitate to assist and placed himself in harm’s way, as the inmate was still in possession of the weapon. He subdued the inmate until additional staff arrived. He quick action ensured that responding staff were not at risk of injury and the injured officer was able to exit the cell and receive medical assistance.
His actions are a testament to his selfless service and dedication to carrying out the mission of Norris Unit.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there, especially those supporting our staff from the outside. Shout out to Capt. Cantrell Bass for the great idea to fire up the grill today for the hardworking crew on B Shift here at the Larry B. Norris Unit. Bringing a little taste of home to the team behind these walls is the least that could be done to celebrate the day. To every mother sacrificing and holding down the fort on this day, your strength keeps this team moving forward!

This week, our team came together to show appreciation for the outstanding work performed at our unit. We want to congratulate everyone who won a gift card……well deserved. Not everyone is built to work in correctional security or to serve as a correctional nurse. It takes strength, compassion, resilience, and a level of dedication that not everyone can give. Thank you all for showing up every day with commitment and heart. I pray blessings over each of you. Thank you for your hard work and for everything you do.

We would like to express our appreciation to the officer and acknowledge all that they have done. Director Payne, thank you for coming by and showing the officers how much you value their hard work and dedication. Your presence reminded everyone that their service truly matters and that their sacrifices do not go unnoticed, strengthening the bond between leadership and those who serve and inspiring them to continue giving their very best. Happy Correction, Teacher, and Nurse Week to all who dedicate their lives to serving others.
