Most Recent Reflection
View all 13 ReflectionsCandie (Joey), I worked with you as an officer at Western Wayne Correctional Facility, then we both made sergeant and worked together at Scott Correctional Facility. You were always being a jokester but you took your job seriously. You use to call yourself (Baby Godwin) after a fellow staff member that you admired. I am sorry that this happened to you by the hands of a person that we once considered a fellow officer. The job is hard enough as it is dealing with the inmates, and daily duties. May God rest your soul and bring your family peace. R.I.P. my friend.
