The Academy benefits its students, and indirectly improves the environment for prisoners and staff who work in the facility. Jennifer*, a resident at Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW), is not enrolled in the Academy, but even so, the influence of the core values has touched her life.
One day she left an item of clothing in the bathroom after showering. When she realized it was missing, she searched but found nothing. Jennifer works hard for her state pay. Her family is unable to support her financially, and she earns what she can to afford the basics, like clothing, hygiene products, or food from the prison commissary. Urgently she asked the staff, janitors, and residents of the housing unit for help locating the item, but it looked like a lost cause.
