It’s natural that there is some apprehension when hiring people who have been incarcerated, but our experience has given us no cause for concern. As soon as the new employees get to work and start interacting with their co-workers, the hesitation disappears.

Providing training and employment helps those previously incarcerated to reintegrate into society and become productive citizens, and the workers we’ve employed have demonstrated the kind of dedication and commitment that we always hope to find when hiring. If you are having trouble staffing up post-pandemic, contact the Department of Corrections and find out how to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.
