GED Program

     The facility runs a G.E.D. program where the inmates receive a basic understanding of literature, math, science, and social studies. We have one day class and two night classes that average 12 students per class. The evening classes meet Monday thru Thursday. The Day class meets Monday and Wednesday and is affiliated with the Second Chance Program.

In-Facility Jobs

    The facility hires a number of inmate workers to complete various jobs throughout the building.

These jobs include working in the kitchen, the laundry, road crew, housing area cleaners, inmate industries, over night paint details, and inmate barbers.
 
The inmate workers are paid a nominal wage which they can apply to their individual account for the purpose of purchasing commissary or to pay for incurred expenses such as medical co-pay and user-fee. The biggest benefit for an inmate worker is earning "good time". This enables an inmate to "work off" days of his/her sentence allowing them to be released early.

Job Fairs

   The Job Fair Program is a joint venture between the Department of Corrections and the C.C.M.U.A. The facility holds two job fairs each year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
 
The fairs are designed to:
introduce "soon to be released" inmates with hiring employers
have the C.C.M.U.A. teach the inmates interviewing skills and how to complete a resume, and
establish a follow-up program conducted by the C.C.M.U.A. to help inmates keep the job that they may have attained

Law Library

   The facility provides the inmates an extensive law library. Inmates can request the law library to do research for their defense for their case

The literature that is available to the inmates comes in Quarterly Updates for Law Library Kiosks . We have trained staff to assist the inmates in their researching needs..

Religious Services

The facility has a number of religious representatives that visit the inmates to take care of their spiritual needs. Christian, Hebrew, and Islamic leaders come to the facility to deliver mass, perform sprecial ceremonies, and conduct prayer groups.
