At MWP, inmates that participate in MCE's Prison Paws Program are now certified in Dog First Aid and CPR through International Professional Groomers, Inc. The certification has helped inmate workers feel more prepared in case of an emergency situation. #MTCorrections

Recently, inmates at MSP and Riverside graduated from Trauma Talks, a 16-week trauma-informed inmate led program. Trained inmate facilitators help participants better understand how trauma can impact thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. #MTCorrections

At #MTCorrections, we are committed to community safety at all hours. In September, Missoula Probation and Parole officers enhanced their skills during a night firearms training, focusing on the effective use of both handheld and gun-mounted lights in coordination with firearms.
