In 2017, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey initiated a statewide effort to reduce the state’s rate of recidivism. Through an innovative multi-agency partnership between the Arizona Department of Corrections Rehabilitation and Reentry and Department of Economic Security, Second Chance Centers were established at the Lewis, Perryville, and Tucson state prisons. Corrections professionals and workforce specialists are providing a comprehensive 10-week training program, preparing and equipping inmates with career and life skills needed to succeed after prison. corrections.az.gov/ des.az.gov/ arizonaatwork.com/
