The California Institution for Men (CIM) in Chino recently held a graduation at the institution’s Marine Technology Training Center.
Dozens of incarcerated people earned degrees and certificates through CIM’s many rehabilitative programs.

Some of these programs included dive school, maintenance, and computer-related systems. Diving, underwater welding, and torch cutting are only some of the skills the incarcerated population can learn.
Through the CALPIA Transition to Employment Program, many incarcerated people have job offers waiting for them when their parole is completed.
