HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Corbett has proclaimed May 6-12 as Corrections Employee Week in Pennsylvania to recognize the important role these employees play in protecting public safety.

“We have great respect for corrections employees,” Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said. ”They work each day, often facing challenging and dangerous situations, to ensure public safety and to provide offenders with meaningful opportunities to change their criminal ways of thinking.”

Pennsylvania has observed Corrections Employee Week every year since 1986.

“This proclamation honors all Pennsylvanians who work in the field of corrections, including county, state and federal facilities – all of whom have excellent reputations as leaders in this field,” Wetzel said.

According to the proclamation, there are more than 30,000 individuals employed in the field of corrections across Pennsylvania. The state Department of Corrections has 16,000 employees.
