Inmates gain experience and develop work habits that will prove beneficial when returning to mainstream society. Inmates with a minimum-security custody level may participate in work programs outside the institution with the community service program. · Education - HCCF provides a comprehensive educational program ranging from adult basic education and GED preparation to computer sciences.
