    Nation’s First Prison Pre-Apprenticeship Program Debuts at Folsom State Prison - By Bill Curtis, One Bakersfield Online
    “The Prison Industry Authority and the Northern California Carpenters Regional Council have developed this partnership to provide a new type of job training. Inmates can learn various carpentry skill sets that are easily transferable to jobs on the outside. I am enthused about this program because by preparing inmates prior to their release, we can address the issues of unemployment among parolees,” said Charles Pattillo, PIA’s acting General Manager.
