On May 14, 2021, One Voice United, corrections professionals, family, and others from all over the country gathered virtually to remember and honor all of the corrections officers, supervisors, and essential personnel that passed away from contracting COVID-19.
Too often correctional officers and other professional staff who work inside correctional facilities are left out of conversations about incarceration and the criminal justice system.
Leaving out people who are involved in the system each and every day makes it harder to create any change or improve conditions of work and confinement while reducing recidivism after release.
Together, we are improving reform efforts and supporting their successful implementation by elevating the vital role of corrections officers and other frontline staff.
