2025 Prison Board members.

When I was first elected, we promised to make public safety priority #1. We have. Lancaster County is one the safest counties in PA to live, work, and raise a family. Now we are continuing the job by planning for a new County Correctional Facility that will replace our outdated 1850s era prison. This new facility will better allow our great correctional staff to reduce recidivism and protect Lancaster County citizens for generations to come. We want our children and grandchildren to grow up in the same safe community we have had the good fortune to live in.

A little rivalry in the office today as we showed our true colors.

Our condolences to the family of Jonathan P Fox, amidst his recent passing. He was an outspoken man regarding the local justice system, and he could be found at every Prison Board meeting over the years, expressing his opinion on the topic he held close to his heart.

Our thoughts are with the family of Ron Ford, former County Commissioner, City Council President, and all around great person with a passion for improving everything around him. I see him almost every day in the halls of the government center. I took the quote below from his obituary write up. We should all strive to have this said about us.

“Ron embodied the true spirit of giving, a legacy of kindness, leadership and service. He always displayed his servant leadership both at work and in his community. He had a gift for making people feel that they were heard no matter who they were or their circumstance.” https://www.snyderfuneralhome.com/obituary/ronald-e-ford/
