Overview
The Casa Grande Re-Entry Center is located in Las Vegas, Nevada in
an industrial area near employment opportunities and mass transportation.
The center houses up to 400 non-violent, non-sexual crime offenders
for three months while they are prepared to assimilate back into society
successfully.
Inmates spend their final months before being released working, learning
new job skills, advancing their education, reuniting with their families,
and learning to avoid the temptations that sent them to prison in
the first place.
Casa Grande is comprised of two dormitory buildings and an administrative
building where there are also facilities for dining, counseling and
group rooms for classroom instruction. Besides basic GED training,
offenders will be given instruction in such areas as criminal thinking
errors, conflict resolution, victim empathy, financial management,
work readiness, health awareness and parenting. Voluntary religious
services for all denominations will also be available. Inmates are
also given access to nearby employment opportunities which along with
a full array of services makes the program different. |
