Goldrick and Grant gave Clark his award at a small ceremony Friday at the Allison-Parris County Office Building in New City. The ceremony culminated national Correctional Officers Week, which was declared by President George Bush. "If we think we have a problem with the County Jail, if we didn't have the community service program, we'd be out of business," Grant said. The program, which started with a handful of prisoners, had 112 people sentenced to it as of Friday.
