Arizona Correctional Industries

Arizona Correctional Industries Real work. Real skills. Real change. Our work is centered on building safer communities by creating real workforce opportunities for incarcerated individuals.

Arizona Correctional Industries connects quality products and skilled labor to the marketplace while giving incarcerated individuals the tools to build a better future for themselves and the communities they return to. Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) is a self-sustaining division of the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR). Inside Arizona’s state correctional facilities, ACI runs modern production and service programs where individuals gain hands-on training, practical experience, and job skills that can support a successful return to the community. From printing and furniture manufacturing to metal fabrication, signage, vehicle wraps, and supplemental labor, ACI provides high-quality products and services to government agencies, nonprofits, and business partners across Arizona. At our core, we exist to reduce recidivism, strengthen Arizona’s workforce, and deliver meaningful value to the communities we serve.

DID YOU KNOW:
All ADCRR inmate clothing is handmade in Arizona by our ACI sew shop.

Producing uniforms in-house reduces state costs and saves Arizona taxpayers money. Program participants also gain hands-on experience in pattern making, industrial sewing, fabric cutting, and quality control.

This approach benefits both taxpayers through lower costs and participants by providing real career opportunities for successful reentry.

Transformation happens on both sides of the lead rope.

In the Wild Horse and Burro Program, participants work directly with wild animals to prepare them for adoption. Trainers build key soft skills such as patience, consistency, emotional regulation, and non-verbal communication, along with practical experience in livestock management and equestrian training.

By integrating public land management with workforce rehabilitation, the program creates lasting change for both the animals and individuals preparing for reentry.

One card game. One winning hand. A city named forever.

Show Low, Arizona got its name when Corydon Cooley turned over the Deuce of Clubs to win a high-stakes card game for a 100,000-acre ranch, telling his opponent, "Show low it is."

That legendary moment didn't just name the city; it became the official city seal featured on these custom benches. Next time you take a seat, you're sitting on a piece of local history!

Large Language Models (AI) can draft contracts, analyze data, and write code in seconds. What they can’t do is weld a structural beam, rewire a panel, custom-upholster an interior, or operate precision machinery on a shop floor.

As AI reshapes traditional desk jobs, physically skilled trades are proving to be the most resilient, stable, and high-demand careers in the modern economy.

We have trained people in these trades for years and set them up for success after incarceration. Many of these individuals have jobs lined up the day they are released; many start their own businesses; and many become master craftspeople, mentors, and trade leaders in their communities and beyond.

Additionally, they are 46% less likely to return to prison and have 74% fewer new felony convictions than non-participants within the first year of release.
