By unanimous Board action, the Marion County Board of Commissioners has declared May 6th through the 10th, 2013 as "Corrections Professionals Week".
During this week, people across the United States and Canada will join together to recognize the work done by Corrections professionals, nurses and support staff to ensure the public's safety.
Commander Sheila Lorance has announced that the jail management staff is scheduling celebrations to honor the work of the staff. These celebrations will be scheduled around the daily tasks performed by our staff and will also accommodate the regular intake traffic of persons arrested in Marion County.
The business of running a jail is a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year proposition. Commander Lorance commented, "Celebrations are important for our staff, but so is the responsibility we have to operate a secure jail facility that houses 405 inmates and a work center that houses an additional 144 inmates". The security of these facilities and the safety of Marion County & our staff are our top priority.
Sheriff Jason Myers added, "The citizens of Marion County can be proud of the service their Corrections professionals provide. The job they do is a difficult one, but they face the challenge with diligence, integrity and compassion."
