We had a couple of guests on our “Around Town” public affairs program from TDCJ that we broadcast over the weekend.
Right now one of the things TDCJ is focusing on is hiring veterans as correctional officers.
Veterans Liasion Alex Aravjo told us, “At TDCJ we are committing to maintain a veteran friendly workplace, and attracting, developing and retaining military service members into becoming employees at TDCJ.” He passed along some benefits.
He also said regarding veterans, “Once they are about 90 days prior to discharge we can start processing their paperwork for them to be correctional officers, so we can potentially offer them a job right before they’re ready to leave the military service.”
