    Please join us in congratulating Region II Director Carol Monroe on his retirement after 30 years of service!    Mr. Monroe began his career with TDCJ in 1994 as a Correctional Officer at the Pack Unit. Throughout his three decades of service, he promoted through the ranks and held every uniformed supervisor position at various units throughout the state. In February 2019, Mr. Monroe promoted to the Region VI Director, before transitioning to Region II in 2022. The correctional knowledge Mr. Monroe possesses, coupled with the support and mentorship he provides to staff, have been an invaluable asset to the agency throughout his tenure.

  • While the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire ravaged the Texas Panhandle earlier this year, first responders worked quickly to contain what is considered to be the largest wildfire in the state’s history. As emergency crews battled the fire, residents began mobilizing to keep their neighbors, families, homes, and livelihoods from burning. Correctional Officer Guy Pigg, who serves at the Clements Unit, was one of many who sprang into action to help his community as news of flames were encroaching on the towns of Borger and Fritch, Texas. Officer Pigg aided in the efforts to plow a fire break around 10 homes, businesses, and a natural gas plant. Due to his bravery and courageous act to protect his fellow Texans, many homes and lives were saved. For his heroic actions, Officer Pigg received the agency’s Valor Award alongside Officers Russell Epperson (Allred Unit) and Cody Cabler (Roach Unit). All three were recognized by the Texas Board of Criminal Justice and Chairman Eric Nichols. #TDCJ #valoraward #employeespotlight #recognition
