How Inmates at Scotland CI Can Learn Job Skills: Sewing Plant and Braille Transcription

Correction Enterprises runs real work assignments inside Scotland CI. Two standout options: the Laurinburg Sewing Plant, where inmates produce uniforms and other clothing items, and a Braille transcription shop, where they convert books into Braille for blind students. These aren't just ways to pass time. They're structured jobs that build habits and skills - showing up reliably, meeting production standards, learning a trade task by task. Scotland CI also offers educational and vocational courses, so work assignments and classroom learning can complement each other as part of a larger skill-building path.

The Laurinburg Sewing Plant is one of Correction Enterprises' main work sites at Scotland CI. Workers produce uniforms and clothing items, gaining experience with production-focused tasks and the day-to-day expectations of a job setting. Wondering what your loved one might be doing there? Think structured, repeatable work: learning to complete assigned tasks consistently and accurately, contributing to a shop that turns out finished goods.

Correction Enterprises also runs a Braille transcription shop at Scotland CI. Workers convert books into Braille for blind students - detail-heavy work that demands accuracy. This job is service-oriented. The output goes directly to students who rely on Braille materials. That practical purpose can make the work feel more connected to the outside world while still building job skills inside.

Scotland CI offers a wide selection of educational and vocational courses, and Correction Enterprises jobs fit naturally into that bigger picture. Working at the Laurinburg Sewing Plant means practicing production skills while making uniforms and clothing. The Braille transcription shop builds a different skill set - careful, consistent work converting books for blind students. Think of these programs as "learn by doing." Classroom courses build knowledge, but work assignments are where routines, responsibility, and specific task skills get reinforced day after day.
