Today, we mark a notable milestone 🎉 in the journey towards recovery and personal growth for many individuals within the Okaloosa County Department of Corrections. Two months ago, we were privileged to welcome Ms. Dana Bafetti Clah, the dedicated Director of the Emerald Coast Life Center (ECLC), to our facility. Her purpose is to guide inmates through a comprehensive program designed to help them commit to change and foster a drug-free mindset.

We are thrilled to announce the graduation of the first class 🎓 from the ECLC program within the Okaloosa County Jail. These men, having made the brave and necessary decision to change their lives for the better, have shown immense courage, determination, and resilience throughout their journey in the program.

This graduation symbolizes not only the completion of a program but also the beginning of a promising new chapter in these men's lives. We couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments and the positive change they've embarked upon.

We also extend our profound gratitude to Ms. Clah for her invaluable contribution. Her knowledge in the field of drug addiction, combined with her unwavering dedication to restoration and the pursuit of a drug-free lifestyle, has been instrumental in the successful delivery of this program.
