Since 1983, Rio Salado College has partnered with the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) to teach the incarcerated population the skills necessary for successful integration into society upon release. In 2005, another successful partnership was established with the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.
We currently offer educational programs, under contract, at ASPC-Perryville, ASPC-Lewis, and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections, Black Canyon School. Our programs provide work-based education and life skills training opportunities for men, women, and juveniles. By providing this array of services at the prison sites and the juvenile detention facility, we have the opportunity to encourage lifelong learning to the incarcerated populations.
One of the programs formerly offered at ASPC-Perryville for female offenders is the Parenting at a Distance Program. It is designed to teach inmates the parenting skills necessary to strengthen family relationships during separation, and to prepare for successful reintegration with their children. In 1998, that program, along with the Construction Technology Program received national recognition and an award from the American Association of Women in Community Colleges for its contribution toward improving the lives of women and their children.
