Programs For Inmates
MSCC offers work release programs with local employers. Qualified inmates work in the community during their incarceration, and there is an emphasis on the inmates maintaining that employment after their release.
Money that the inmates earn can be used to pay fees, restitution, and other financial obligations. Work release and offsite opportunities are a privilege, not a right, and are provided at the discretion of the center superintendent and warden.
This facility also offers vocational programs and driver's education classes.
