The California Report was on and it caught my attention. The report, Youth in Stockton Correctional Facility Learn a Business, Repay Victims in Unique Program is running March 7-9. You can down load an audio MP3 or read the report on line. Here are the opening paragraphs. It caught my attention since hearing about the youth facility in Red Bluff that is training juvenile in custody car repair and how successful that program is.

Kids in the juvenile justice system have plenty of time to think about their futures. But inside one correctional facility in Stockton, a private business lets kids actually rehearse for their futures and help victims along the way.
Michael Casaglio introduces himself and some of his colleagues at Merit Partners, an environmentally certified electronic recycling business that’s located within the walls of the N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility. There’s floor leader Terrance Turner, upcoming floor leader Jordan Rutkes and IT tech Chandler Luce.

Photographers Nigel Poor and Doug Dertinger discussed their unique photography class at San Quentin Prison that uses alternative forms of expressing photographic imagery without the use of cameras. They also talked about an inmate run radio program they helped initiate that is aired on station kalw 91.7 and can also be heard on their website, San Quentin Prison Report.
Check out PPOTR Dispatch #15: Photo History Behind Bars, an Interview with Nigel Poor and Doug Dertinger to learn more about the work being done and the wonderful results that bring the Christ to view in these men behind bars.
