by David Thompson published Sep 04, 2025 last modified Sep 04, 2025 07:23 AM
One of the most impactful tools in corrections is the Crafts & Arts shops within each of our facilities. Not only can crafting provide a “safe place” for one’s mind and reduce stress and anxiety, but it can also tap into one’s creative side while learning vocational skills like carpentry, woodworking, or textiles that can lead to employment upon release.

The bonus parts are the positive bridges they can help build with communities as they contribute their work back into society.
