Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) – a unique, self-funded, 30-year-old business within the Arizona Department of Corrections – employees nearly 2,000 inmates at any given time. They work in safe, positive work and learning environments, gaining skills that will help them secure employment upon their release — many in highly skilled trades. The wages inmates earn at – what for many are – their first paid jobs, 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 more than $8 million in inmate wage deductions that support Court Ordered Restitution, Victim's Compensation Fund and more. Inmates who participate in ACI programs are 30% less likely to return to their previous lives of crime, saving taxpayers millions more in future court and incarceration costs.

Begun as a program to help rehabilitate prisoners, ACI today is a vibrant business providing Innovative Solutions to public and private business across the state, while helping inmates learn the job skills to lead Productive Lives.
