The main purpose of the inmate apprenticeship program is to encourage
program sponsors to accept inmates into their apprenticeship programs
existing outside in the private sector. Through such linkages
the inmate can make the transition from the institution to gainful
employment with a program sponsor. However, in addition individual
institutions have also established internal inmate apprenticeship
programs in a multitude of apprenticeable occupations, i.e. automotive
repair trades, machinist trades, meat cutting trades, dry cleaning,
printer, upholsterer, etc. As of the end of 1995, 610 inmate apprentices
were registered with DAS.
