Happy #Juneteenth! May we celebrate national freedom, and continue working toward progress.

In celebration of #FathersDay, residents at CoreCivic's Whiteville facility in #TN who participate in the facility's crochet class created stuffed "Cooper the Dog" toys to give to children visiting their father. Cooper the Dog is a character companion, familiar face, and friend to accompany children during a visitation experience. Additionally, the facility provided stickers and activity books for children visiting on Father's Day.

"I started out thinking I could change the lives of every dog I encountered. As I reflect now, I realize they were the ones changing me." CoreCivic's Jenkins facility in #GA partners with Jenkins County K 9-1-1 Rescue to offer a program that gives both justice-involved individuals and shelter dogs a second chance. Program participants provide care and basic obedience training to the dogs, increasing the dogs' chances of adoption. READ: https://hubs.ly/Q02BMcB20

An innovative rehabilitation and #reentry program called Hustle 2.0 is offering incarcerated individuals at several CoreCivic facilities, including CoreCivic's Bent facility in #CO, the tools and resources to change their mindset and map out a positive future for themselves. Hustle 2.0 uses an evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum generated by both those with lived experience and thought leaders in the correctional rehabilitation space. When participants successfully complete a Hustle 2.0 course book, they receive a certificate of completion. Those who complete all three books even receive #college credit from Southern Utah University. MORE: https://hubs.li/Q02zSWJD0
