A New Initiative – Community Action Teams (CATs)
April 16, 2019 12:00 AM
Many citizens may not know it, but the DOC's community corrections centers require reentrants to perform community service. A variety of work is done and ranges from cleaning up debris after a flood to shoveling sidewalks during winter storms.
To ensure the safety of reentrants as they perform these duties, the DOC is providing inmates with protective vests.
When citizens see individuals wearing these vests they will know that returning citizens are giving back to their communities by performing helpful projects!
Individuals interested in receiving assistance from CATs should contact their local DOC-run community corrections center.
