Hamilton named FCI's top officer for December

Franklin Correctional Institution has selected Sgt. Clyde Hamilton as the officer of the month for December 2009. Hamilton has been employed at FCI since Nov. 2007, and is assigned to the third shift, in the evenings, at the main unit. Following his retirement from the Florida Department of Corrections as a captain, after 28 years of service, Hamilton came out of retirement to work at FCI. He was nominated for the award by the entire third shift who cited his leadership and knowledge of the department.
