Governor Matt Mead will sign a proclamation to designate May 8-12, 2017, as Wyoming Correctional Professionals' Week during an exemplary employee luncheon to be held in Cheyenne on May 10. Sixteen exemplary employees from throughout the department will be recognized during the luncheon. I hope you will join me in recognizing these hard working professionals who do an extremely difficult job very well. As individuals and communities, we often remember to thank those public servants, such as police, fire fighters, EMT’s and military service men and women, who keep us safe. But a group of public servants who play a critical role in our day to day safety that receive little or no daily recognition are corrections professionals. Despite the inherent risks of the profession, these unsung heroes dedicate their lives to serving this state and ensuring the safety of our communities throughout the incarceration and supervision process. They do so by role-modeling socially acceptable behavior to the offenders they supervise, by reinforcing the positive pro-social behaviors displayed by those offenders seeking change, and by redirecting inappropriate behavior in continuously holding each offender accountable for his/her own actions as they occur. The challenges faced by correctional staff members are tremendous, yet these dedicated professionals continue to make a difference in the lives of others. Incarceration, or community supervision, is the punishment imposed on offenders for the wrongs they have committed against victims, families, friends, and our communities. “Corrections” is the process that occurs as a result of the supervision, professional concern, and unselfish commitment of our state’s corrections professionals. Today’s corrections staff are well-trained highly-skilled corrections professionals. They effectively manage offenders and community risk, while giving each offender access to the opportunities necessary to become effective, law-abiding citizens upon their transition back into our communities. The work they do has become multifaceted – their work goes beyond supervision and surveillance of offenders – and is therefore deserving of the designation as a respected profession. Employees, once considered in the aggregate as “guards”, now do much more than guard prisoners and, as such, are truly deserving of recognition as corrections professionals. So please don’t call them “guards”. During their week of special recognition on May 8-12 and throughout the year, we should honor and respect the work these men and women do for us each and every day of the year.
