Work, Education, and Treatment Programs
Work Programs
Corrections in Arizona has long supported community work
programs. As early as 1913, inmate labor was utilized throughout
the State, including in Cochise County.
In 1983, a prison was opened in Douglas. From that point
forward, a partnership between the prison and the surrounding
communities was reaffirmed. Numerous inmate labor crews have
been assigned throughout the entire county. This includes labor
intergovernmental agreements for labor with various State,
County, Municipal and non-profit agencies.
Some of the more notable projects are listed here as a small
example of the tremendous positive impact these labor projects
have:
Douglas Association for Retarded Citizens - Inmate labor
is estimated to have saved the city $250,000 in labor costs.
Ongoing maintenance is provided for additional cost savings.
Douglas Police Department - In 1991, the Douglas City
Council approved the renovation of the vacant train depot,
originally built in 1924. The Police Department utilized
funds from the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organization Act (RICO) and the Heritage Fund (due to the
historic place registration of the depot). The architect who
oversaw the project estimated a labor cost savings of more
than $100,000 due to the use of inmate labor.
Construction and Maintenance of Public Park Building and
Facilities, School, Library and Public building renovation
and maintenance. Construction of public library and
community college furniture.
Sidewalk and curbing for an ADA grant given to the City
of Douglas.
Food Bank gleaning labor, community service work for
churches, community centers and Boys and Girls Clubs.
The Douglas Prison maintains over 30 contracts for inmate
labor with: Sierra Vista, Douglas, Bisbee, Tombstone,
Elfrida, Huachuca City, Sunizona, Ask Creek School, Naco,
Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), State Land
Department and Cochise County. Inmate labor saved these
entities $1,722,267 in labor cost compared to what they
would have paid at minimum wage. In reality, much of this
work could not have been done without inmate labor, and we
are contributing to the image of inmates giving back to the
community.
On June 26, 1996, ASPC-Douglas received the prestigious
"Business of the Year" Award presented by the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce. This is an unprecedented accomplishment that gave
recognition to the outstanding contributions of the Prison to
the community. ASPC-Douglas is proud to be a positive and active
member of all the communities we serve.
