The Central Arizona Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility (CACRF) opened December 11, 2006. Staff was recruited from the local community and local vendors were used as much as possible. As a result, the facility contributes significantly to the local economy through salaries and purchase of goods and services.
Central Arizona Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility offers employability skills, parenting, substance abuse education and counseling, nutrition/diet education, education, GED classes, ABE classes, case management, individual/ group counseling, stress management, facility work programs, and job placement.
The Central Arizona Correctional and Rehabilitation was designed by CSC and built by GEO in 2006.
The facility achieved reaccreditation through the American Correctional Association with a score of 99.5%.
During the holiday season, members of the Central Arizona Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility (CACRF) took part in a volunteer event at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a non-profit organization committed to combating global hunger. Representing our facility were Facility Administrator, Ed Coday, Inmate Banking Specialist, Rosa Fernandez, Human Resources Clerk, Michelle Hamilton, Human Resource Manager, Leah Connolly, Training Manager, Deanna Malone, Payroll Specialist, Katie Corona, Assistant Business Manager, Beth Aguero, Accounts Payable Clerk, Camari Appel, and Executive Secretary, Dyne McBroom. FMSC operates nine locations across the country, including the Tempe, Arizona site where our team volunteered. This Christian-based organization relies entirely on donations and volunteers to prepare and distribute nutritious meals made of rice, soy, and vitamins to children in need worldwide. Their warehouse is highly compliant and efficiently managed by volunteers. Our administration proudly supports this mission annually by donating time and effort. During this year’s two-hour session, our team packaged 93 boxes, which equated to 20,088 meals, providing enough food to sustain 55 children for an entire year. The estimated cost of these meals is $5,825.52, but thanks to our team’s dedication, this was accomplished at no cost, purely in the spirit of charity. READ MORE
