A discussion/plan on the reduction of recidivism through rehabilitation. We have partnered with our local community college to bring over fifty education courses available to our inmates: including, degrees in horticulture, welding, small engine repair and CDL programs. The horticulture program yields thousands of pounds of food to our local food pantries throughout the year. Our inmates have the opportunity to have a degree upon their release an obtain gainful employment. We have had inmates sending us letter about their first home purchase for their family because of the skills we have taught them. We also have a tattoo artist at the jail to cover up any gang or human trafficking tattoo’s which also therapeutically helps eliminate certain triggers and PTSD. Our programs have been nationally recognized for the results we are seeing, and we are very proud of it!
