Arizona Department of Corrections Inmates Helping To Build Homes

"Work was booming, and we needed more people, and this was just a great opportunity," said Mark Frankson, Operations Manager with Erickson Framing AZ LLC.

INMATE CLERKS RETURN TO THE OFFICE

On Monday, June 28, 2021, after being away from the central office for fifteen months, 11 female offenders are happy to be back among the staff in a traditional office setting. A welcome change from the temporary office we set up for them at the prison, they have brand new work stations in an open floor plan that offers plenty of natural light. It didn’t take long for them to get unpacked and set up in the new building. The office is glad to have everyone back.
