 The
Casa Grande Concept
Mitigating the Correctional Crisis
Through Innovative Development
Here’s a chilling statistic: Nearly 70% of inmates released from prison
are re-arrested. Every state, city, town, county and municipality
in the nation should be concerned with the growing prison population
and numbers of returning offenders, as well as the impact of returning
prisoners on the community and the rising cost of building and maintaining
correctional facilities.
In early 2006, Nevada—a state not well known for its progressive correctional
system—did something to mitigate the problem. The Nevada Department
of Corrections and The Molasky Group of Companies, a private real
estate developer, opened the Casa Grande Re-Entry Center. This modern
facility provides inmates nearing the end of their sentences the tools
for a successful return to society while costing Nevada taxpayers
very little.
Today, the Molasky Group of Companies has teamed with former Nevada
Department of Corrections director Jackie Crawford to further develop
the Casa Grande program to serve as a model across the country for
Correctional Re-Entry Centers, Juvenile and Adult Detainment Centers,
and Social Service and Mental Health Centers for Jails/Correctional
Facilities. |
