if you've ever been to a government building or a state university -- you've probably come in contact with a bench -- desk or another item made by prison inmates. ththr tatanted handiwork has come a long way from punching out license plates. this morning -- in a story you will see only on cbs 2 news -- scott sanborn shows us a new program at the anamomo state nitentiary that's changing offenders lives -- and at the same time giving them hope for the future. future. (nats) nearly one-thousand iowans eat, sleep and work behind these thick stone walls. because of their past, they have no choice but to call the anamosa prison home... at least for now. many have decided to spend their time locked up, looking to a brighghr future. "no-body is too old to learn

"its free education, that'sa& education is so key."nathan curtis and bobby simmons are just two of doze of inmates learning to o better themselves with the help of a new hands-on educational program. " i've done enough welding on the streets, for instance when you're getting spatter, blow out on your torchesa& things like that, but now these books expand why it's doing that and i've learned a phenomenal amount of material. "i' hoping it opens dos for me. i don't plan on welding for the rest of my life but i hope i can use it as a stair way to somewhere better." curtis and simmons, both serving two decades behind bars for robbery are now about half wa through their sentences. "i was given chances in the past but like i said, i was immature, i didn't know what to do with them, but this apprenticeship, it's actual hands on training and it's educational book work - a two part process. and given that chance and opportunity, i knew

one." "our program focuses on helping people, our program focuses on building skill, our program focuses on our mission of no more victims. // 28:32:21 "what matters is what you do from here on out."the iowa department of corrections says it costs the state about 34-thousand dollars to hold an offend for a year, regardless ohow they spend that time. the apprenticeship nearly four times that amount. but, it's helping to certify 200-prisoners. that breaks down to just over 600-dollars to give each of these inmates a means to be productive, both side and outside these walls. "that money will come back to ththsystem. you give e me a good paying job, now i turn around and i'm a tax paying citizen."diesberg helped bring the program to anamosa in 2014 and as of the end of last year, it's now being used at all nine of iowa's prisons. "we went to the u.s. department of labor showed them our program, what it was today and how we'd built it up and they approved every bit of the program so we started of apprenticeship." even the

designed by an apprenticeship student. the department of rrections offers 16 different types of apprenticeships from welding to cooking. each one has a certaiainumbebeof curriuclum hours paired with hands-on training. "i'm ten booksa&9 books in and i have 18 for the metal fabrication. and they go from welding, to blue prints, to schematics to mathematics." "we do the apprenticeship; what people would have in a normal atmosphere in society, we're doing this apprenticeship and being positive, productive incarcerated// it's a lot better than how i used to do my time."//02:10:02 "i came into prison and there wasn't anything really for me. i had a 25-year prison sentence. so there wasn't anything for me to look forward to, to want to be positive. ""if you're an employer, you're hiring a person, not hiring a history. you're hiring a person who has taken the initiative who took a tough situation and turned it into something positive." "i've really changed 100%,

time to start doing the right things. i've done ititrong long enough."(nats) right now, nearly 30-percent of inmates wind up back in prison after they've served their time. curtis says thinks the prenticeship program will lower that percentage becausese it gives ooenders not only a way to take care of themselves and their families, it gives them a sense of self-worth. "i want to show i've changed. i want to show i'm rehabilitated and i'm able to do that with the apprprticeship plus coming away with education and certification." since the program beg -- 29 inmates have completed apprenticeceips. you can get more information on this program by visiting our website, cbs 2 iowa dot com. it's right now it's degrees in coming u..the developmentsts in eastete iowa for one of the most controversial organizations of the 2016 campaign. campaign.in your cbs 2 weather
