  Expressing support for the designation of the week of May 1, 2022, 
    through May 7, 2022, as ``National Correctional Officers Week''.

Whereas the operation of correctional facilities represents a critical component 
        of the criminal justice system of the United States;
Whereas correctional officers play an important role in protecting the right of 
        the public to be safeguarded from criminal activity, as with law 
        enforcement officers;
Whereas correctional officers are responsible for the care, custody, and dignity 
        of the inmates charged to their care;
Whereas correctional officers work under demanding circumstances and face danger 
        and violence in their daily work lives; and
Whereas the first week of May is recognized as ``National Correctional Officers 
        Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of ``National 
        Correctional Officers Week''; and
            (2) honors all correctional officers for their service to 
        their communities and States, and to the Nation.
