Cummins Unit Employees Offer Assistance to One of Their Own

As is the case throughout the Division of Correction, Cummins Unit employees care for each other like family. Deputy Warden Kennie Bolden and officers from the unit’s Employee Benefit Fund (EBF) recently presented COII Michael Moseley with money raised by the group to help with expenses that were incurred as a result of storm damages to his home. Thanks for looking out for one another, Cummins crew!

Challenge Coin Presented to Kerry Clark

Our Victim Notification Coordinator, Kerry Clark, was presented with a Challenge Coin on July 10, 2019, by Solomon Graves, Chief of Staff for the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Mr. Clark’s efforts have yielded a reduction in the return rate for Victim Notification Letters from 20% to 8.5%! This is saving the Division of Correction thousands of dollars in mailing costs and ensuring that more victims receive the notifications they are due. Great work, Mr. Clark!
