In an article published by Prison Journalism Project (PJP), Idaho prison writer James Mancuso describes how he and others are benefitting from apprenticeships made available through Idaho Correctional Industries (ICI).
His article, “Why Prisons Should Offer More Job Training Programs,” provides a positive outlook on workforce development in Idaho corrections and considers how businesses like ICI might more positively impact their local communities. It also exemplifies Mancuso’s resilience, diligence, fairness and forward-thinking–qualities that I, his incarcerated peer and fellow PJP contributor, am thankful to count as my resource.
