We’ve talked a lot recently about our fight against contraband because scenes like this are only possible in safe, secure facilities.

Please join us in congratulating 20 incarcerated graduates at Chillicothe Correctional Institution. They celebrated this achievement alongside their family and the staff who have supported them along the way.

Safe and secure facilities pave the way for change!
