Why will our prison be different? Our main focus is education and workplace preparation Through our specialized programs, we will provide the inmates the opportunity to obtain a high school and/or college diploma As well, we assist our inmates by building their fundamental workplace skills so that it is easier for them to get a job when released With a proper education and workplace preparation, the inmates are better prepared for when they are released back into society In conclusion, the inmates will ultimately have a better grasp of what future career they will pursue outside of the prison therefore easing the transition from prison to society
