PENDLETON, Ind. —
The Pendleton Correctional Facility gave awards for 2012 at the annual staff assembly on Tuesday.
The assembly provides administrative personnel the opportunity to brief correctional facility officers on recent events at the facility and throughout the Indiana Department of Correction system, according to a press release from facility spokesman Neil Potter.
