And now you can celebrate “National Corrections Day”.
The NSW Department of Justice has decided that this coming Friday should mark the achievements of officers in the country’s prisons.
One of them is to be Glen Innes Senior Correctional Officer Charlie Heath who the department said “once subdued a violent and out-of-control inmate, maintaining the safety and security of his fellow officers, and earning him a Corrective Services NSW Bravery Medal.”
The department said that the 62-year-old from Glen Innes Correctional Centre sustained injuries during the incident.
Mr Heath said: “I was simply doing my job.”
He added that he was “very humbled that my colleagues nominated me for the award”.
