CCI Behind the Walls of Tehachapi's Prison

Warden Brian Cates and Lt. Eric Barthelmes join us on TehachaPod to talk about some rehabilitative programs for inmates they brought to CCI (California Correctional Institution) in Tehachapi that have not been done elsewhere in the prison system. They also talk to us about way the inmates are able to use their own money to buy things from local businesses and donate to local Tehachapi charities. Its an interesting conversation, we learn about how an art project turned into a documentary and how it impacted inmates and how they responded to the art project. Take a minute, you will learn a little something about the $200 million dollar annual budget CCI operates here in Tehachapi. Send your questions to [email protected].
