At the Minnesota Correctional Facility for Women in Shakopee, the inmates engage in a number of restorative justice programs. One lets the women learn technical skills and earn credits from a nearby college. Then they use those skills to complete projects that benefit the whole community. Learning skills makes their time in prison productive and aids reentry into society.
