COMPANY OVERVIEW
We provide realistic work experiences for sentenced, adult offenders residing within Mississippi correctional facilities. This gives offender workers the opportunities to obtain valuable skills that will lead to long term sustainability.
Providing job training, work experience, and employment skills that can lead to gainful employment upon release thus reducing dependency on criminal activity.
Fostering self-esteem through personal accomplishment.
Promoting understanding and respect for community values.
Developing social skills that can help reduce interpersonal conflict on or off the job.
We train offenders to work in quality production processes, industry techniques unique to their work training, warehouse and logistics training, and customer service skills. Additionally, by developing soft skills, the workers learn how to respond to supervision and how to interact within the work environment.
We have multiple sites within various correctional facilities throughout the State, and we are expanding to meet demands in the marketplace. Products are offered through our full-service sales division.
We receive no direct funding from the state. MAGCOR solely operates on the monies generated by the sale of the products, and monies are then reinvested into the corporation (training and certification, transitional support, creating classrooms, supplying teaching materials, etc.). MAGCOR is able to offer on-the-job training and work experiences to team members because of its independence in generating its own cashflow.
Within our program, team members learn trades that give them marketable skills upon their release.
The ultimate goal of MAGCOR is to have a credible impact on reducing the recidivism rate of the work program participants. The State of Mississippi, local communities, and the families involved all benefit from MAGCOR’s success.
