Georgia Dovshek

Correctional Employee of the Year, Washington County Jail

‍

We're thrilled to celebrate a true champion among us—Georgia Dovshek, the Food Services Manager at Washington County Jail. In the world of corrections, food service can significantly influence mood and morale, making it a critical factor. Concerns about food quality also rank among the most prevalent complaints received by the Prison Society from individuals incarcerated in county prisons.

Georgia’s dedication to using clean, fresh ingredients and maintaining an impeccable kitchen fosters an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Beyond her culinary talents, Georgia's impact is transformative. She shares holiday joy through special meals, empowers inmates with culinary skills, and cultivates a sense of community that vendors like Aramark can't replicate.

With this award, we honor Georgia's unwavering commitment to health, safety, and dignity behind bars. Her contributions enrich lives and perfectly embody our values.
