Thirty-nine incarcerated individuals celebrated earning their high school diplomas from South Park Academy \u2014 the educational entity of the Utah State Correctional Facility.
Thirty-eight students of the Salt Lake City School District’s South Park Academy earned their high school diplomas Monday in the Utah State Correction Facility’s visitation center.
A fight involving multiple incarcerated individuals broke out at the Utah State Correctional Facility on Saturday, May 13, causing the Utah Dept. of Corrections to initiate a temporary lockdown.
I am a volunteer working with the staff at the Utah State Correctional Facility to open a mother/baby unit for qualified pregnant, incarcerated women. This program would really help to make the word “correctional facility” a reality for our state. The staff members working on this project, and some of the volunteers, made a visit a week ago to the Washington State Women’s Correctional Facility to learn firsthand how a successful nursery functions, including safety, education, medical oversight, and developmental issues. It was the final step, before opening in July using all we have learned.
