CoreCivic

Through its normalization process and efforts, CoreCivic is implementing trauma-informed colors in its facilities across the country. A color palette, which was designed by architects informed on correctional spaces, is helping CoreCivic facilities incorporate colors to match and flow with the geographical regions in which the facilities are located.

Congratulations to Daren Swenson, CoreCivic Vice President, Core Services, for being the first-ever recipient of an award from the ARrow Center for Justice Reform for his efforts in enhancing human dignity for all those impacted by the justice system - specifically corrections staff, residents, their families, and communities.

CoreCivic is honored to receive a Restoration Milestone plaque from Joni and Friends Wheels for the World program.

30 residents at CoreCivic's Bent facility in #CO are preparing to graduate from Ramsey Solutions Financial Peace University. Understanding and managing a household budget can be difficult, especially for incarcerated individuals who may not have been exposed to budget management for some time or perhaps, ever at all. Financial Peace University teaches students how to manage finances, cut down debt, strategically save, and more. These are all tools that help support successful #reentry.

"I shouldn't let the past define who I am today because that's not who I am today…" Residents at CoreCivic's La Palma, Red Rock, and Saguaro correctional facilities in Eloy, #AZ, recently participated in day-long, Trauma to Transformation workshops to better understand their past trauma and the role it has played in their choices and behavior. Spearheaded by the Compassion Prison Project, a California-based nonprofit, the workshops focused on self-empowerment and helping those in CoreCivic's care identify past trauma with the goal of helping them start their healing journey.
