This week, Sheriff Rowe welcomed corrections professionals from across the state to the Lubbock County Detention Center. Captain Lopez led a two-day event hosted by the Texas Jail Association Programs Committee. The focus was on jail programs and how they impact our greater communities when inmates are ultimately released. Topics included how to step up, manage, and improve upon existing inmate programs offered at jails across the state. Programs discussed included rehabilitation classes, vocational training, educational courses, religious services, and re-entry services.
We are very grateful to be able to host this event. Thank you to everyone who came and shared their expertise.
