Major Shannan Sturgeon Recognized for
30 Years of Service
Branchville, Ind. - Branchville Correctional Facility Administration, Contractual Staff, and Department Staff met face to face on February 24, 2021, for the first time in almost a year due to the pandemic. The meeting was the first step in a return to full operations for the facility, and some new items on the agenda made for a festive atmosphere. Staff at Branchville Correctional Facility welcomed new Warden Frank Littlejohn to the facility. Warden Littlejohn, and Deputy Warden Dan Mitchell both presented Major Shannan Sturgeon with her 30 Years of Service certificate and pin.
Shannan Sturgeon, pictured to the left with Warden Littlejohn and Deputy Warden Mitchell, began her career with the Indiana Department of Correction on February 4, 1991, as a uniformed Correctional Officer. Her leadership skills, dedication, and work ethic were recognized by her superiors and she was promoted for the first time in February 1994 to Correctional Sergeant. Promotions to Correctional Lieutenant in 1997 and Correctional Captain in 2006 quickly followed. After serving as Correctional Captain for 5 years, Major Sturgeon adjusted her career path and moved to administration accepting a position as Correctional Unit Team Manager in 2011. Sturgeon was not finished with Custody, and in October of 2013, she returned to uniform as Major Sturgeon the position she still holds. Major Sturgeon is a true leader and leads by example. Major Sturgeon offers advice, recognizes the success of her staff, and encourages them to achieve success both inside and outside the fence at Branchville Correctional Facility.
The Indiana Department of Correction congratulations Major Sturgeon on a long and distinguished career!
