The education offered at the facility starts with the HISET — High School Equivalency Test — formerly known as the GED. Everyone at the prison has the...

The question I get asked the most often is, “How is retirement?” Most often my response is, “Well, I’m pretty tired.” I miss the residents at the care center and I miss making a difference in their lives and in the lives of those that I would meet through my work as the chaplain for the hospital, care center and hospice. Many members of our community have told me ho...
