Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI)

Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) is a unique, self-funded, 35-year-old business within the Arizona Department of Corrections and employs nearly 2,000 inmates. These inmates gain skills to help secure employment upon their release — many in highly skilled trades. The wages inmates earn go toward savings for their release, room and board offsets, and restitution funds.

Each year, millions of dollars in "profits" generated from sales of ACI products and services go directly to Arizona's General Fund (helping to keep state taxes low). Taxpayers also benefit from inmate wage deductions that support Court Ordered Restitution, Victim's Compensation Fund, and more. Inmates who participate in ACI programs are less likely to reoffend, saving taxpayers in future court and incarceration costs.

Begun as a program to help rehabilitate prisoners, ACI today is a vibrant business providing a wide variety of innovative products and services to public and private businesses while helping inmates learn the needed job skills to lead productive lives.
