JERSEY CITY — Oscar Aviles, Hudson County’s department of corrections director, is retiring next month after 26 years on the job.
Aviles, 49, rose from line officer to become head of the department in 2004. Tish Nalls-Castillo, a deputy director, will succeed him in an acting capacity.
“Corrections is a demanding field, the work is stressful,” Aviles said in a statement issued this morning, “but I am proud of all that we as a department — officers, supervisors and civilian staff — accomplished to raise professionalism in our ranks and to treat those in our custody as humanely as possible.”
