The project would involve remodeling 2,500 sf of existing receiving and release storage into 3 classrooms to support education and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment programs.

The benefits of the project are primarily inmate rehabilitation; and secondarily, the project benefits communities where the inmates are paroled. The new classrooms will include adequate restrooms, required fire suppression systems, utility closets, and all other support utilities.
