Reentry Success!!

  • LPH-Prisoner Success Content

    Fred & Donna Kostrick are owners of a unique shop known as “License Plate Heaven".  Old scrap license plates are renewed and given a new life as a host of new and very fun promotional products.  A visit and tour to the MSI License Plate Operation inspired the owners to create a 501(c)3 non-profit to help paroling inmates get a fresh start in life.  Former prisoner Mr. Sims featured in the video succesfully gained employment with the company and has become one of their most valuable employees.  The video was created as part of the 2020 NCIA Webinar presentation topic on Awards, Recognition and Promtional Products presented by MSI License Plate Manager, Will Rondeau, Industries Production Leader, Joseph Downard, and Marketing Specialist, Tujauna (TJ) White. 

Personalized Plates for National Guard

Expressing Gratitude

  • NG Hero Testers Content

    The National Guard assisted with mass testing of prisoners and staff Covid-19 swab and antibody testing at Gus Harrison Correctional.  The Gus Harrison CF staff and surrounding area had the opportunity to get tested and ARF found a great way to express the gratitude we all feel for the Guard's continued partnership and support. The MSI License Plate factory made each officer a personalized license plate. Shout out to Will Rondeau, MSI License Plate Manager and his MSI team for providing a creative and one-of-a-kind thank you on behalf of all of us at the MDOC.

MSI Yard Signage

Yard Signage for Schools

  • HLS Content

    (Right): The MSI Sign Operation saved the day for Holt Lutheran School’s 8th Grade Graduation celebration held Thursday, May 28th, 2020 as a "Drive-By" event.  Principal Chelsea Speers was very happy and appreciative to receive the signage, hand delivered by MSI Administrator Chris Kamrada.  They were amazed at the quick turnaround and the extra special touch the signs gave to the festivities.  Thanks to Wayne Devenbaugh, Delbert Bolesky, and Staff at the MSI Sign Shop for the exceptional work!  MSI Yard Signage is perfect to build school community among staff, parents, and students.  If students live in an area where lawns might not be an option – these make great window cling signs as well to send with a parent/guardian for those living in apartments!
