One Voice United’s mission is to provide a platform for Correctional Officers and professional staff to have their voices heard and their concerns addressed in the ongoing debates over reforming our correctional system. OVU’s annual events, Elevating Our Profession and National Medal of Honor Awards Ceremony, were created to do just that while honoring, inspiring and celebrating the corrections profession. This year’s event takes place in Boston, May 28-30, 2025.
Too often correctional officers and other professional staff who work inside correctional facilities are left out of conversations about incarceration and the criminal justice system.
Leaving out people who are involved in the system each and every day makes it harder to create any change or improve conditions of work and confinement while reducing recidivism after release.
Together, we are improving reform efforts and supporting their successful implementation by elevating the vital role of corrections officers and other frontline staff.
