The Robertson FAMILY just got stronger!

The French Robertson Unit recently held a highly successful “STOP the Drug Rally”, an initiative focused on addressing the challenges of substance abuse. The event brought together unit leadership, guest speakers, and the program advocates who delivered powerful, motivating messages centered on recovery, responsibility, and long- term change.

Speakers emphasized the importance of breaking the cycle of addiction- both the patterns that contribute to incarceration and the struggles that often persist during confinement. The rally encouraged participants to recognize their potential for change and highlighted the resources available to support their journey toward sobriety and personal growth.

This Large-scale effort engaged approximately 740 inmates, reflecting the strong interest and willingness within the population to seek positive transformation. Through shared stories, education, and evidence-based messaging, the event reinforced the department’s broader mission of rehabilitation and preparing individuals to re-enter society as productive, stable citizens.

Please join the Robertson Family in congratulating Captain McGlothlin and Captain Zeleznikar on their promotions to Captain at the Robertson Unit.

We are excited to welcome them into their new leadership roles. Both are proven leaders whose dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence will help continue moving the Robertson Unit forward. Their leadership will play an important role in strengthening our team and supporting the mission of maintaining safety, security, and professionalism.

Congratulations to both of you, and thank you for stepping up to lead the finest correctional staff in the world. The Robertson Family just got stronger.
