What Happens After a Prison Shuts Down?

Season 1 Episode 145

The Augusta Correctional Center employed many residents and brought business to Craigsville, Virginia, a two square-mile, 900-person town in the Shenandoah Valley. But when the prison closed with minimal warning, Craigsville residents and the town’s economy were hit hard. Join us as we envision the future of Craigsville and investigate how decarcerating the economy can become a win for all.
