Why
Casa Grande Works
Today, many offenders in Nevada are dropped off in downtown Las Vegas
with a check for $25 and best wishes from the Department of Corrections.
More often than not, the parting of the ways is brief and the majority
of offenders wind up back in the system.
Casa Grande seeks to reverse that trend. The goal is to reintroduce
offenders into society with a fighting chance to stay there and not
go back to prison. It's a goal that makes sense on many levels, said
Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn.
"The concept behind Casa Grande is simple: program those who have
gone astray to be better able to provide for themselves and their
families by providing the opportunity to use the skills they have
learned to obtain good paying jobs. By doing so, the state will be
able to keep costs in check by holding down the need to build more
prisons." |
