Summary
A groundbreaking class of inmates at MacDougall Correctional Institution has just graduated from Turn Ninety, the first full-year cohort since the program launched — and they’re stepping into the real world with newfound confidence, job skills, and a certificate from Trident Tech. This South Carolina nonprofit, partnering with state corrections and the college, equips participants with training in job readiness, financial literacy, and public speaking — plus a resume-boosting credential. Graduates like William, who’s eyeing a CDL and his own construction business, are ready to rebuild their lives — even reconnecting with family after years apart. Officials hail the program’s impact on both re-entry success and prison culture, with plans to expand statewide. Employers are already noticing: these grads are highly motivated, resilient, and primed for second chances — thanks to a powerful focus on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindset transformation.
