The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Chad Chronister are proud to unveil HCSO's newest vocational center building dedicated to Julian
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. – Sheriff Chad Chronister unveiled the newest vocational center building owned and operated by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in honor of Julianne M. Holt.
The Julianne M. Holt New Beginnings Vocational Center is named after Hillsborough County’s Public Defender, who has led a long and illustrious career here in our community.
“Julianne Holt is a beacon of hope in our community, and after years of dedicated service, we are thrilled to honor her lasting impact,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “It is my hope that this building serves as a catalyst for change in inmate’s futures.”
The new vocational center building will allow inmates to learn a range of trades, such as welding, carpentry, ironworking, electrical, and heavy equipment.
Milwaukee Tool donated more than $7,500 worth of tools, which will be used in the classes.
“This contribution will significantly benefit the vocational center and inmates who join these courses,” said HCSO in a statement.
“Empowering inmates with vocational skills is not just about rehabilitation; it’s about rewriting futures and fostering second chances,” said Sheriff Chronister. “I am grateful to our community partners and staff who helped make our vocational center what it is today.”
