NO ONE EVER SAID THEY DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN
Unless you try to turn one of them in for not doing their job properly.

 

God bless you

My name is Alan Wimberley and I'm the Chief Correctional Officer at Columbia C.I. in Lake City. I transferred to Columbia in 2000 as a complete stranger and my total experience here has been nothing but positive.

Unfortunately since my arrival, I've experienced a serious illness that has caused much stress on my family and I. The employees at Columbia have rallied around me and up lifted me in ways that I'm incapable of explaining to make others understand.

My intent to write this is to share with all Columbia C.I. employees how much your support and out pouring of love and concern has humbled me and taught me that caring people can make a difference in people's lives.

It has renewed my spirit and faith in people that for me, with over 30 years of law enforcement experience, had become down and - at times - cynical. I wish there was a way for me to repay everyone. Please, from the bottom of my heart and the deepest recesses of my spirit and mind accept my thanks.

Also, to those in Columbia and surrounding counties that these employees come from, you should be very proud to know that this group of people represent the very best in your communities and you too should be very proud of all who you may know.

Once again, thank you and may God bless you all as he's blessed me.
