The Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles and J.F. Ingram State collaborated to provide a presentation at the American Probation and Parole Association conference last month. LaShanda Hails, Director of ABPP Programs at Ingram State, and Rebecca Bensema, Assistant Director of ABPP for Reentry, spoke at the conference regarding the educational resources available to ABPP clients in Alabama. Ingram State is honored to collaborate with ABPP in order to inform our state counterparts about the significance of education for a successful return to society.
J.F. Ingram State is a proud partner with Alabama Public Television. APT's executive members toured Draper Instructional Service Center in Elmore last week to see firsthand how the college is spearheading Alabama's efforts in correctional education. Attendees had conversations with existing students, learned about the numerous program options, and experienced something eye-opening. J.F. Ingram State believes having the students tell our narrative is the most effective method to do it. Thank you for all who participated in the discussion and tour, we look forward to growing our partnership.
J.F. Ingram State is proud to recognize Carpentry Instructor, Eric Trahan, and Office Administration Instructor, Dawn McClarin, for attending the Alabama Community College System Alabama Master Teacher Experience (AMTE) at Northeast Alabama Community College in Rainsville. During the training, they learned best practices in the classroom and brainstormed through everyday challenges with counterparts across the community college system. The training they received will be transferred into their classrooms and help improve the daily learning process of Ingram students!
J.F. Ingram State is excited to recognize Adult Education Instructors Marilyn DeNeal and Michael Jones for their three years of service. They have serve as integral parts of the education pathway, and we look forward to their continued success.
Draper Instructional Service Center in Elmore hosted a Battle of the Barbers where ISTC Barbers faced off with Staton Correctional Facility Barbers. Each side hosted 5 barbers to represent their side for the showdown. Each baker had 30 minutes to meet with their client and perform a mid-fade haircut. Coming out on top from Ingram State, Antonio Ray, and from Staton Correctional Facility, Jaboree Watson.

In 2024, J.F. Ingram State multiple students submitted artwork to the Alabama Arts Alive Festival in Florence. Ingram State is proud to announce that a #welding student from Main Campus in Deatsville received the Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts Merit Award for his Proud Peacock.
Before the peacock took form, it was an older model type writer. The student took apart the typewriter key by key and hand constructed the keys into beautiful feathers and engineered the head from a pair of pliers. It is a great representation of his artwork and skills he learned in welding.
Take a moment to recognize his hard work by dropping a comment below!

Recently, J.F. Ingram State students at Bibb Correctional Facility held a forklift operator training for select first and second semester students. These students now have a vital tool they can use during the road to reentry.
Did you know, according the National Bureau of Labor Statistics, Forklift operators' median salary in 2023 was $44,750? Did you also know that all career technical #ISTC students undergo a two-day forklift operator training and receive a certificate of completion?
J.F. Ingram State focuses on training students in areas where Alabama needs them the most, and where they can be successful when they reenter society. Forklift Operators are needed on almost every construction site, warehouse, industrial plant, and more. By having this one credential in their tool belt it tremendously expands their opportunity to find a career!
