There are countless members of our KDOC family that have served in the military in defense of our great nation.
On this day that we remember and honor the fallen men and women of the military who sacrificed their all for our country, we pause, reflect, and spend a moment of silence at 3pm. This is how one of our own reflects on Memorial Day: Sgt. Phil Thull of Ellsworth Correctional Facility.

Former Topeka Correctional Facility resident Monica Pyles struggled for 3 years while declining the help from staff within TCF, but a breakthrough opened her eyes and set her sights on working at a coveted Private Industries job. The company started in August of 2021 at TCF and Pyles found her niche making parts of the products with a sewing machine. The company was so pleased with her work and leadership, they hired her straight out of prison when she was paroled in September 2022. She is considered by many as a posterchild for reentry within TCF.
