WAY - 2018 Nov 14 - CPR and First Aid Training.jpgOn November 14 Activities Specialist Troy Walsh brought in Scott Bonito of SB Certified Training Consultants, LLC, out of New Jersey to teach CPR/First Aid to inmates.

These inmates will be reentering society in the near future, so this class was provided to these inmates through the suggestion of unit managers and counselors. Bonito, who is a retired Lt. of the NJ DOC, taught the inmates through PowerPoint, CPR mannequins and AED'S the basics of the American Red Cross CPR/First Aid Certification.

The inmates who completed the class are now certified and will have their CPR/First Aid cards upon release. The class was very well received, and Walsh looks forward to making this a regular event.
