- Chris Martin has been a detention officer in San Diego since 2008. The flexibility and the support system CCA provides affords him the opportunity to pursue his dream to compete as a professional boxer. "I'm very grateful for the type of job I have and the time they allow me and just the support that I get from work," Martin says. Well-liked at his San Diego facility, Martin's so unassuming, one might find it hard to believe he's a revered boxer on a national level. Boxers must adhere to a strict diet and a vigorous work-out routine the week before a fight, and Martin's warden works with him to ensure he can take vacation time off to prepare for his fights. "He's always very supportive," Martin notes. "In my second to last fight, my warden actually went to one of my fights, so I thought that was nice of him to take the time and go out and watch the fight." Martin's co-workers are his biggest cheerleaders. They often attend his fights and loyally follow his career. The immense support his work family supplies gives him confidence to continue chasing his dream, all the while providing for his family.

- Being able to work outdoors is important to me. It's fulfilling to know that I am able to take control of my day and accomplish the tasks that are required. I'm not afraid to work hard; I'm proud to put my best foot forward every day. Work ethic means so much to me; and you can't expect great work ethic from the people around you unless you give it. I enjoy my work environment, it fits me.
- Working at Silverdale Correctional Facility inspired me to foster and adopt children. I believe in serving as a role-model by making a difference in the lives of others.
