J.F. Ingram State Technical College in Deatsville received a $150,000 grant from Gov. Kay Ivey to help former inmates get jobs once they’re released from prison.
The Alabama Department of Corrections started releasing inmates on Jan. 31 and is expected to continue releasing them.
It provides training for inmates in a number of highly demanding labor fields, including welding, automotive repair, plumbing and HVAC, carpentry and more, said college leaders. “About six months from their release, our job placement team and re-entry team will begin to work with them on the placement of them for a job,” she added.
