Summary
The Scurry County Commissioners adopted a proclamation recognizing Corrections Week at the Scurry County Jail and asked citizens to acknowledge corrections staff; the court voted to illuminate the courthouse in silver as a symbol of support.
The Scurry County Commissioners on a voice vote designated a week in May 2026 as Corrections Week to recognize the county jail staff’s role in maintaining safety, security and humane care at the Scurry County Jail. Chair (speaker 4) read the proclamation and asked citizens to show appreciation for the “dedicated men and women at Scurry County Jail.”
The proclamation, which the chair said would be symbolized by illuminating the courthouse in silver, praised corrections officers’ “professionalism, integrity, and vigilance” and noted their work in challenging conditions. The court called for public recognition of corrections personnel and moved the proclamation; the chair closed discussion and called for the voice vote, after which the court recorded general assent by saying “All in favor.”
The action was procedural and ceremonial: no further directives or budgetary commitments were included in the proclamation, and the court moved on to scheduled agenda business after the vote.
