The Utah Department of Corrections is shining a spotlight on the graduates of the building trades program at the Duchesne County Jail. A state news release announced: A dozen students, under the supervision of the Utah Department of Corrections but housed in the Duchesne County Jail as part of the Inmate Placement Program, graduated from the Building Trades program offered through Uintah Basin Technical College on May 17th. The 14-week program, a staple at the county jail for 30 years, provides the opportunity for individuals housed there to build affordable housing for the surrounding community while learning and receiving certification for skills such as framing, electrical work, plumbing and woodworking. Congratulations to the graduates of the program and we wish you success in the future!
