Mission Statement

The mission of ACI is to train and educate inmates in life skills and marketable job skills through various programs, enabling them to produce quality goods, products and services at competitive prices; in combination will aid in the reduction of recidivism.    

Vision Statement

ACI will accomplish our mission by providing a work setting, which replicates private industry. These inmates, once trained, will permit ACI to expand the revenue capabilities of various tax supported agencies and nonprofit organizations by offering these groups quality goods and services at competitive prices. Revenue derived from these efforts will permit ACI, in turn, to expand its ability to train more inmates, in more fields, by opening new programs that will offer additional products and services to its customers. 

Statistics show that if ACI teaches an inmate a marketable job skill that can be used once he or she is released from confinement, he or she is far less likely to return to prison. This means that through the purchase of our goods and services, you are actually helping to lower the number of persons returning to prison. Any profits derived from the sale of our products and services go to enlarging our present programs and adding new programs to teach more inmates.
