Programs
CMC has been called a country club and the garden spot among California prisons because of its offerings of a wide variety of vocational, educational and psychological-treatment program. Notable CMC programs include:
- Arts in Corrections, "designed to rehabilitate inmates through art."
- A "Level I camp program for fire suppression, conservation and other community service work." The jobs include "trash pickup and removal" at Port San Luis Harbor District properties, including Avila Beach.
- Central Coast Adult School, which "aims to reduce the recidivism rate and help inmates rejoin the work force."
- Prison Industry Authority, which "manufactures and ships millions of dollars of prison-made products annually."
- Prisoners Against Child Abuse, which "donates more than $100,000 a year to local children's organizations."
- Narcotics Anonymous.
- Alcoholics Anonymous.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
