🎉👨👩👧👦 Family Fun Day 2025 – A Day to Remember! Alexander A. Farrelly Criminal Justice Center
Saturday, June 21, 2025
Laughter echoed, smiles were shared, and memories were made! This past Saturday, we turned moments into milestones as families gathered for a joy-filled Family Fun Day reminding us all that connection is powerful, healing, and necessary. 💛
From music, games, and delicious food to quality time between loved ones, the event was a beautiful reminder that behind every person is a family, a story, and a reason to hope. 🎶 🎈
To every child’s smile and every warm embrace, we saw the heart of what we do: restoring lives through love, support, and second chances.
A huge THANK YOU to our staff, volunteers, and community partners who helped make this day possible. 🌟

Alexander A. Farrelly Criminal Justice Center
Friday, June 20, 2025
Today, we witnessed something powerful proof that change is possible when hope is restored, and healing begins.
Several individuals proudly walked across the stage, not just as graduates but as overcomers, completing our Therapeutic Programs and taking bold steps toward a better future. 🙌🏽
These programs are more than classes they are about breaking cycles, healing trauma, rebuilding self-worth, and preparing to re-enter society with purpose and pride.
To our graduates:
You showed up. You stayed committed. You CHOSE growth. And today, you remind us all that every setback can become a setup for a comeback. 💪🏽
Let us flood the comments with encouragement for our graduates! 🙌🏽

Guardians and Healers: A Tribute in Verse"
In Honor of National Correctional Officers & Employees Week and Nurses Day
In halls of order and clinics of care,
You serve with purpose, always aware.
Whether guiding a unit or easing a pain,
You show up with grit—through pressure and strain.
Correctional staff, with vigilance sharp,
You manage the chaos, you play every part.
From counselor to coach, mentor to guide,
You hold the line, with honor and pride.
And nurses—your touch, so steady and kind,
Brings healing and hope, with heart and with mind.
With charts in one hand and care in the other,
You treat each patient with care and dignity.
Together, you juggle the toughest of roles,
With paperwork mountains and achievable goals.
You lead with resilience, wisdom, and grace,
While keeping calm in a fast-moving place.
So here’s to your service, your courage, your cheer,
To the long days you face and the opportunities you share.
With humor intact and professionalism true,
This week, we celebrate in honor of you. ... See MoreSee Less
