Recognizing Fallen Staff
On May 30, 2008 a ceremony was held at the Washington Criminal Justice Training Center to honor corrections personnel who have been killed in the line of duty.
 

After opening
ceremonies
are performed,
Secretary of Corrections,
Eldon Vail
speaks to a
crowded room.


A wreath is placed at the gate that was once installed at the U.S. Federal Prison
at McNeil Island in the early 1900s.


A new class of correctional officers stands in attendance. As part of the Corrections Officer Academy graduation ceremony, Cadets pass through this gate. They symbolically emerge as Corrections Officers charged to carry out there duties in service to their communities, with integrity of character and pride in their profession.
