Michigan offenders
perform
a wide variety of tasks |
By providing offenders with the opportunity to give something back
to Michigan's taxpayers, the MDOC ensures that needed work gets done and a sense
of justice is restored to everyone involved. Michigan offenders perform a wide
variety of tasks, including:
- Cleaning up state parks
- Maintaining hiking trails
- Raking leaves, mowing grass and cleaning up cemeteries
- Washing police cars
- Painting and repairing houses for Habitat for Humanity
- Planting flowers in city and county parks
- Cleaning up vacant city lots to reduce crime
- Preparing and maintaining snowmobile and horse riding
trails
- Restoring bridges in recreation areas
- Cleaning up and improving county fair grounds

The offenders are
carefully screened to minimize risk to the public.
An average work crew consists of eight to
10 offenders. State corrections officers supervise prisoners while they
work unless approval to provide supervision has been granted by a warden
and an official for the agency such as Michigan State Police or a municipal
police department.
