The Prison Build Program educates and provides hands-on training to inmates in the building trades and horticulture industries. The inmates construct walls, cabinets, trim and other housing components; build entire homes; design and create interior products; and devise landscape plans and provide the needed horticulture products. Inmates are linked to employers to find jobs and to aftercare programs to assist them in their reintegration after release from prison.
