Empowerment Through Education

We are proud to recognize another milestone at the Rutherford County Detention Center as another group has successfully completed CPR certification training. These accomplishments reflect their commitment to learning life-saving skills and making positive use of their time while in our facility.

This opportunity was made possible through funding provided by a generous private organization that helped remove barriers and ensure this valuable training was accessible to those who can benefit from it most.

Programs like this foster confidence, accountability, and personal responsibility, while equipping participants with practical, life-saving skills that can make a meaningful impact in emergency situations when they return to the community.

Thank you to our dedicated Detention staff, ICC instructor Stacy Jenkins, and our community partners who continue to support meaningful programs that promote growth and second chances.

Please join us in congratulating this group on their hard work and achievement!
