Corrections Corporations of America’s (CCA) Coffee Correctional Facility in Nicholls broke ground today for its new Inmate Vocational Training Center. The 6,300 square foot building represents a $2.1 million expansion CCA is making to the facility to accommodate new vocational programs including welding and diesel maintenance, which will be offered to inmates in partnership with the Georgia Department of Corrections and Wiregrass Georgia Technical College.
“We are proud of our partnership with the State of Georgia and Wiregrass Technical College to provide life-changing programming to the individuals in our care,” CCA representatives stated.
The groundbreaking event complements National Reentry Week (April 24-30), a week designated by the U.S. Department of Justice to highlight the importance of preparing inmates for release and reducing recidivism.
