Providing a Valuable Service While Teaching Offenders Transferable Job Skills

Keefe Created a New Fulfillment Center in Tucson

Prisons are like self-contained cities. They provide everything necessary for the well- being of the offenders they house. That includes: daily meals, clothing, housing, healthcare (medical and psychological, including substance abuse programs), jobs, laundry, educational and training opportunities and countless other services to meet the special needs of offenders. One service that may not immediately come to mind, but is in some ways equally important to some of the others, is the commissary (or offender store).

Customer Reviews

Keefe Group is proud to partner with ACI in a program that helps inmates learn valuable skills, gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, and increase their chances of success after incarceration. We also benefit from an ACI inmate workforce that helps keep our facility operating smoothly and efficiently. It’s a win-win relationship.

Matt Cook, COO - Commissary, Keefe Group
We are extremely thankful for the partnership with ACI and the Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry. We get access to labor that is dedicated and extremely hard working. From that dedication and hard work, we have for two years running achieved our stated sales targets...

Jay Bouche, CMO, Trapp Technology
All I can say is WOW! You guys are amazing. I was truly in awe when I saw the finished project. I can’t wait to hang the art work so that everyone can see how awesome it is.

Andy McIlveen - Detective: Chandler Police Department
We received the brochures yesterday and appreciate your efforts in completing the project ahead of the expected completion date. You went the extra mile to make this happen!! The brochures look great and will be distributed to ASU students at a presentation made by the Director regarding internship opportunities with the department. You Exceeded Expectations!! Thank you.

Sam Keomaka - HR Staffing Manager: Arizona Department of Corrections
The trophy cabinets are superbly made to the exact design and dimensions we requested. They were delivered on time and installed to perfection by the inmates and their supervisor. This brings a total of 22 ACI trophy cabinets in our Sports Hall of Fame complex. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Carlos Esparza in the purchase of the cabinets.

Ed Long - Chairman: Miami (AZ) Sports Hall of Fame Committee,Miami Unified Schools
The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honored several outstanding staff during the annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. The celebration marked the implementation of a new and streamlined program that updated the process of identifying deserving recipients; as well as establishing and designing all new award categories and certificates. That being said; the success of this event could not have been accomplished without the assistance of Arizona Correctional Industries and in particular the hard work; effort and dedication of Tom Brown.

Charles Flanagan - Director: Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
Here at the State Library we have had some tremendous difficulty with certain vendors of the last 12 to 18 months. Recently I've started coming to ACI with a few of our on-going projects and even threw Tom Brown (Customer Service Manager) a curve ball when I asked if anyone could design a logo for a symposium we're doing in March. We couldn't be happier with the results. Everything Tom has taken on has come back on time; at a cost that's reasonable and with a finished product that has far exceeded expectations.

Dr. Ted Hale,Deputy Director - Library Division: Arizona Secretary of State
Each year the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honors several outstanding staff and community partners during our annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. This past April we had the pleasure of once again working with Mr. Thomas Brown and his staff to design and create awards; certificates and programs for this year's ceremony. In addition to the plaque and certificate templates that Tom and his crew had designed for last year's event; this year we added a new plaque and certificate template for our Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports award. Once again; we were amazed by his team's creative workmanship.

Dona Marie Markley - Assistant Director: Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
Director Ryan; Please allow me to express my thanks to you and your exceptional team at Arizona Correctional Industries that assisted with the allocation and delivery of our new conference table. The table and chairs are a beautiful addition to our district office and I could not be more grateful for how helpful you and your team were. Thank you again for your exceptional service!

hank you so much for working so quickly to create our awards for our honorees. After visiting with you yesterday at ACI I realized how significant it would be to have our awards created by your team there and then when I saw the designs they were Perfect! They look awesome! The event was great and part of its success was due to you and your team.
Kevin McNichols,,,,Over the past 4 working days I have watched 2 of your work crews from Phoenix work hard continuously at our Tucson Office removing metal shelving and flooring. I was especially impressed with the leadership and guidance of their ACI supervisors; especially Mr. Estrada. Please ensure that the ACI Management and Director are aware of the quality and quantity of work these men and their crews do.

We are very pleased with the lockers. They appear to be well built and should last us a long time. Arrived before we expected. Thank you

Craig Danielson - ASU
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful job your workers did on our chairs. Our daughter had chairs done with you a few years ago and they were perfect. She still gets compliments on them. So we decided to see if your workers were still doing upholstery and are very glad they are. The work is wonderful and the price is outstanding. Please let everyone know who worked on our chairs how happy we are with them. Merry Christmas and thanks.
