WHEREAS, Corrections Workers Day is taking place on May 6,
2025; and
WHEREAS, Committed to protecting the safety of all Texans,
highly-trained law enforcement officers maintain order in jails,
prisons, and local correctional facilities while assisting adults
and juveniles who are undergoing rehabilitation, and they also
ensure that court orders are enforced; other employees also provide
critical support within the correctional system, including
administrators, chaplains, nurses, social workers, and teachers;
and
WHEREAS, Balancing a demanding career in an environment where
the threat of violence is always present, correctional
professionals endure physical and emotional demands every day;
moreover, the men and women who have lost their lives in the line of
duty have made the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and security of
our communities; and
WHEREAS, These dedicated and courageous Texans play a key
role in the criminal justice system, and it is indeed fitting to
recognize their service and their many contributions to society;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 6, 2025, as Corrections Workers
Day and commend these officers and employees for their vital work.
