The purpose of the visit was to familiarize staff with the entire judicial process: arrest, trial, sentencing, detention, and designation to a Bureau facility. The group, which included Warden Graber and Captain Cottrell, toured the U.S. Marshal s Service processing and detention area, and observed court proceedings. The Honorable Dale S. Fischer, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of California, spoke with the group and provided a tour of her chambers.

Staff Serve the Community FCI Big Spring On August 4, FCI Big Spring Correctional Officers Gary Clare and Randall Webb were in a convenience store when they noticed the store clerk in medical distress, suffering from an apparent stroke. They immediately called 911and stayed with the clerk until emergency personnel arrived. While they waited, Officers Clare and Webb also secured the store and notified the owner. FPC Duluth In June, severe flooding caused extensive damage in the Moose Lake community. To assist the community, FPC Duluth s Federal Women s Program sponsored a school supply/backpack drive to benefit the Moose Lake Elementary School. On August 28, FPC Duluth staff delivered the donations to the school. The school staff expressed their appreciation and immediately reached out to families in need, distributing many of the items later that same day. FCC Forrest City Holds Veterans Outreach Program On August 15-16, FCC Forrest City s Reentry Affairs Coordinator and Education Department staff sponsored a Veterans Affairs Outreach program. A representative from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provided information for incarcerated veterans within six months of their release date.
