Hawaii Correctional Industries Advisory Committee

The Hawaii Correctional Industries Advisory Committee advises the Department of Public Safety on the state's correctional industries program, which provides work and vocational training opportunities for incarcerated individuals to produce goods and services. It reviews program operations, quality standards, and marketing of correctional industries products, and advises on expanding employment options within correctional facilities. The program is intended to reduce recidivism through work skills training.

Correctional industries programs affect both the rehabilitation prospects of incarcerated people in Hawaii and the state's ability to purchase goods produced in-state. Advocates for criminal justice reform and reentry support can engage with this advisory committee.
