A Pinal County private prison has invested in better education for inmates by helping them get their GEDs since opening in 2008, officials say.
At the second quarterly community relations gathering, CoreCivic gave community members an update on how things are going at its facilities and how the Saguaro Correctional Center matches up to the other facilities.
“It’s rewarding to them to get a picture to send home to their families of graduation,” Saguaro Warden Todd Thomas said. “It’s a sense of accomplishment. We get some offenders that have a fourth- or fifth-grade education.
