As a count room clerk at the Stevenson Unit, I was responsible for working up count and expediting the master count sheet in a timely manner, housing our incoming chain according to their status as either known predators or victims, their medical restrictions and the height/weight/age guidelines, preparing the outgoing chain transfer rosters and gathering their travel cards and/or institutional folders, printing off move slips, job changes, wing and turnout rosters, restriction lists and layins along with their correlating lists. I also served as a Spanish interpreter

Worked up count and expedited the master count sheet in a timely manner, housed incoming chain, prepared outgoing chain transfer rosters, and gathered travel cards and/or folders depending on their reason for transport, printed move slips, job changes, wing and turnout rosters, and layins along with correlating lists. Unlike my previous experience in the count room, Estelle had three separate count rooms (main building, high security and RMF). In the main building where I'd started out, we were responsible for maintaining clear and constant communication with the other two branches of our department in order to ensure accurate and efficient counts. The experience acquired there was invaluable.

Maintained order and security of assigned duty post as correctional officer, enforcing TDCJ rules and procedures consistently, observing inmates and responding to unusual or potentially dangerous behavior with minimal force to ensure compliance.

Supervised inmate activities and ensured compliance with facility regulations.

Conducted regular inspections of inmate living areas and security equipment.

Managed inmate movements during daily routines and scheduled events.

As a count room clerk at the Eastham Unit, I was responsible for working up count and expediting the master count sheet in a timely manner, housing our incoming chain according to their status as either known predators or victims, their medical restrictions and the height/weight/age guidelines, preparing the outgoing chain transfer rosters and gathering their travel cards and/or institutional folders, printing off move slips, job changes, wing and turnout rosters, restriction lists and lay ins along with their correlating lists. I also served as a Spanish interpreter, volunteered to work visitation and helped teach other staff how to use the newly implemented VI00. I also had the privilege of training 3 women who later became shift supervisors and a case manager there on Eastham.
