The Moultrie Probation Office continued a holiday tradition in a big way. Southeast Corrections partners with our local State Court in Colquitt County, lead by Judge Richard Kent, to provide much needed help for families struggling financially during the holidays. The program allows probationers to donate gift cards in exchange for community service hours. The gift cards are provided to Colquitt County DFCS to be shared with their clients. The office collected and returned over $15,000 in gift cards to DFCS this year. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Drive 2014

Southeast Corrections staff and Judge Claire Cornwell-Williams (front row, third from right) present $1,500 donations to the Safe Shelter and Homeless Authority to assist the clients of their local non-profit agencies. The fundraiser, in its second year, is a creative way for probationers ordered to complete community service work to volunteer funds to these worthwhile community programs in exchange for community service work credit.

Celebrating the retirement of Laura Henderson, Clerk of Walnut Grove Municipal Court. Laura served over 20 years and worked with a number of Judges during that time. Laura has been a great friend and supporter of Southeast Corrections. We wish her all the best.
