While our corrections system has a large number of credible outside agency prison programs assisting inmates to a smoother transition into the community, it is an inmate-created program that is raising eyebrows across the state.
On June 27, 46 federal court personnel came to Osborn Correctional Institution to hear a presentation from a number of inmates about their program titled “Skills of Socialization” (SOS). The attendees included federal district court judges, probation officers, attorneys and additional staff of the federal defenders office, clerks and others. The half dozen presenters included inmates sentenced for murder and other major crimes and former gang members.
