Celebrating Success!

The Wainwright Unit recently hosted a graduation for men who completed their High School Equivalency program through the education department. As with all other graduations and events, we are extremely proud of these men and their achievements but this time was a little different.

These individuals completed this course while in Restrictive Housing.

We are extremely fortunate to have excellent instructors, support staff, and correctional staff to assist in ensuring that occasions such as these are not only successful, but meaningful as well.

Congratulations to each of you!

The Wainwright Unit recently held a Stop the Drugs Rally with assistance from the Chaplaincy and Volunteer Services Division. Hundreds of participants from our population heard testimony and encouraging words from CID and CVSD Leadership as well as volunteers and former Field Ministers.

This event inspired hope amongst the men and encouraged them to become involved in programming and courses offered across the facility.

We are thankful for all who assisted, attended, and participated in making this event a success.
