ALBION – The dome of the Orleans County Courthouse is illumined in blue tonight in a show of support for corrections officers.
The dome will stay lighted up in the evening and at night for the next week to show concern and appreciation for corrections officers across the county and state, said Lynne Johnson, the County Legislature chairwoman.
Orleans County is home to two state prisons as well as the county jail.
“These are very troubling times in our state’s prisons and we are very concerned about the safety of our corrections officers,” Johnson said in a press release today. “It feels like almost everyone in Orleans County knows a person who works at one of these facilities. These corrections officers are our family members, friends and neighbors and we want them to know how much we appreciate them.”
