CDCR – Solano State Prison has shown overwhelming support for two of their own Correctional Officers Mikhail Pavlioglo and Adam Tuazon, as they prepare to compete in the NorCal Battle of the Badges on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Both fighters are in training camp preparing for battle. It takes a lot of courage, heart and guts to step into the ring in front of thousands of people against an opponent who has been preparing to beat you up.
What makes the journey more meaningful is the encouragement support and backing from the CDCR and the Solano State Prison family. The leadership and staff, including
Michael Freitas, Correctional Officer
D. Perez, Captain
Andre Gonzales, (A) Warden
A. Ratliff, Associate Warden
R. Speight, Captain
have been instrumental in boosting the staff and fighters’ morale and confidence as fight night approaches.
The support not only strengthens Pavlioglo and Tuazon’s resolve but also shows the unity, pride, and commitment of the CDCR and Solano State Prison standing firmly behind their fighters.
