JACKSON, Mich. - A first-of-its kind program is taking place in a Michigan prison, helping inmates find a purpose. The program, called Vocational Village, was designed to create a brighter future for prisoners by helping them embark on a new career path and leave a life of crime behind them. When he leaves the Parnall Correctional Facility in Jackson, he'll head out with tools for a job. The Vocational Village in Parnall Correctional Facility was launched in 2017. A third is set to open by the end of the year at Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti.
