Sergeant Steven Martinez began his tenured career with the agency in 1983 at the Memorial Unit, formerly known as the Darrington Unit, in Rosharon. After serving at the facility for several years, Sgt. Martinez was transferred to the Pack Unit in Navasota where he continued advancing his career and was promoted to Building Sergeant.
A few years later, Sgt. Martinez was promoted to lieutenant a position he held until retiring in 2013. He returned to the agency a year later and was quickly promoted to sergeant and currently serves in the Transportation Sergeant position.
Sergeant Martinez displays integrity when he walks the halls, holding staff and inmates accountable. For his continued service to Texas, Sgt. Martinez was recognized by the Texas Board of Criminal Justice and Chairman Eric Nichols.

The Police Chaplain, as a LIVING RESOURCE GUIDE
One of the best kept secret police chaplains have because they’re typically clergy. They’re embedded in the community and they know local resources, incident,commanders and police chiefs, can utilize your chaplains for who they know and what they know about resources they know might help the chief, the sheriff, the incident commander on a particular scene, in a situation or critical incident.
If you ARE a police chaplain , what you haven’t learned is how to build your own living resource guide
If you don’t know the resource your agency may need, this is training that’s something we don’t teach police chaplains how to understand and know your local resources how to vet them how to personally put your reputation on the line when the police chief asked for a particular. part of the rule that we play at Chaplain USA is showing raw footage and some of this is raw footage with Phil prompting me to explain what a living resource guide is.
If you want to be an excellent chaplain, you absolutely must know the local resources regional resources and national resources on which you can call upon in a moments notice when the police chief, the incident commander, or sheriff requires it.

The School to Prison Pipeline is a structural mechanism largely concentrated upon low-income schools serving students of color.
When we see heavy police presence in public schools, we have to ask, "Whose order is this actively maintaining?"
While some students are tracked towards college, others are tracked towards correctional facilities.
Notes:
RSAs = Restrictive State Apparatuses. These include our police or military, institutions which control people by force or restriction.
ISAs = Ideological State Apparatuses. These include schools and churches, they bring people together through ideological and cultural conditioning/community building.
So, do RSAs really belong in or around ISAs?

Excerpts from “Faithful parents faithful children: Why we homeschool.” (2006) by Dr. Don Schanzenbach
“Christian children that are sent into the enemy education camp usually becomes slaves of the opposition…Every day their faith will be discouraged and sometimes mocked outright. The Christian students cannot write a paper or make a speech that is distinctly Christian” (p. 99).
“The Apostle Paul taught that ‘Bad company corrupts good morals’ (I Corinthians 15:33). Schools are the best places in our culture to apply this doctrine. There could not be a more accurate application. If Paul’s words do not apply there, they do not apply at all” (p. 100).
“Public prisons and schools, both being compulsory, do not prepare their occupants well for private life” (p. 101).
“One of the inherent problems with school is that it creates this extended adolescence” (p. 102).
“Attending school does not prepare people for adult life” (p. 102).
