The staff of Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (MTC) is doing their part to bring awareness to breast cancer, the second leading cause of death for women in the United States. WCCF Accounting Clerk Jamila Newborne and Buyer Ina Walker have coordinated multiple activities to bring attention to the disease and what can be done to fight it. At the same time, Newborne said, they want to offer support to survivors and those who may be currently diagnosed with the disease. Planned activities include the wearing of pink T-shirts and a staff walk around the facility. Certain attire will be worn by non-security staff to help highlight the message. For example, western attire will be worn to “give cancer the boot.”
