🚔 Corrections Week in Intro to Criminal Justice! 👮‍♀️

Our Intro to Criminal Justice students had a great week learning about the corrections component of the criminal justice system!

Students heard from North Carolina Department of Adult Correction probation and parole officers about their careers and experiences. They also visited Maury Correctional Institution, where they toured the facility, learned about the many careers within a prison, spoke with correctional staff, and had the opportunity to ask questions to an individual who has been incarcerated for more than 20 years.

Experiences like these bring the realities of the criminal justice system into the classroom and are an essential part of student learning. We are grateful to everyone who welcomed our students and helped make this experience possible! 📚👮‍♂️
