Essex Hester named Officer of the Year
Hester’s strongest contribution comes in the area of public relations. He is frequently assigned to the gatehouse at Polk Youth Institution’s main entrance, where he comes in contact with everyone who enters and leaves the prison. "He provides a very good first impression to our visitors and volunteers," wrote Capt. Tarquintus Walser. "He has communication skills that can calm an angry visitor or cheer up an unhappy mother." Hester joined the Division of Prisons in 2000. He is a graduate of Vance-Granville Community College. |
