Transcription

I'm not seeing the forest through the tree here with the summer winding down Julie Stevens time is running short Stevens and her crew of nine Iowa State landscape architecture students have been working 10 hour days for the last few months at the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women in Mitchellville the correctional officers during a shift change would stand in the parking lot and talked for quite a long time, just decompress about their day before they went home and so we thought it would be nice to give them a space that you designated for a little decompression part of that space is this 30 by 40 foot patio Austin has spent the last few weeks pounding hundreds of bricks in the place for Austin spending his summer working at a prison has been a learning experience it's really not as intimidating are scary as you would think going to prison and there's a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions about prison I'm actually being here and working with everyone in the actual site in its been a lot different than I imagined and they're not just working at the prison the students are also working with some the offenders it's really nice to teach them about landscape architecture about what we're doing I'm it's been fun to work with them because they really want to learn about what we're doing it's been good for the women has been good for the staff and its been good for the ISU students as well patty Wachtendorf, the warden at the mitchellville facility says many at the offenders have used this project to learn more about landscaping and they can learn bricklaying skill, tree planting skills and landscaping skills things like that and for the students getting hands-on experience working on a big landscaping project isn't the only education they've received this summer the students really see the women as women that have made mistakes and that are paying for their mistakes by being imprisoned it's been awesome the women that work with us they're great on the thing about them is this is you know for a lot of them their home for you now however many months to years and so it's really nice to teach them I'm what we're doing and why it's important for Iowa State news service I'm Dave Olson

History

The prison opened in September 1991.[3]

In the early 1990s a company called Third Generation contracted the manufacture of women's underwear to 35 Leath prisoners. These prisoners produced about $1.5 million worth of clothing. J.C. Penney, Victoria's Secret, and other companies bought this underwear for resale. This was revealed in a 1995 National Institute for Justice study. The contract was terminated by the mid-1990s.[4]

The prison's Braille Production Center, in which inmates make braille materials for schoolchildren, opened in 2002.[5]

The current chapel was dedicated on February 21, 2013.[6]

Demographics

As of 2016 the prison has 105 corrections officers and 40 non-security personnel, as well as 562 prisoners.[3]
