Each day the OOR crew leaves the facility to do work what may have gone undone for years.  Often, the project would never have been undertaken due to financial limitations.

 OOR provides a vital link to the public, demonstrating the commitment of corrections to support our neighboring municipalities.

 The other equal benefit is the skill development that the inmate crews receive.  Statistics bear our that inmates with marketable skills are less likely to return to prison.  It is uplifting to speak with the men who work on the OOR crew.  They are excited to go out each day, learn new trades and have the work they accomplish valued.

 OOR at SCI-Albion is a vital extension of our institution.  I appreciate the dedication of the staff and how enthusiastic they are with regard to their dedication to our mutual success.
