Programs
CMC has been called a country club and the garden spot among California prisons because of its offerings of a wide variety of vocational, educational and psychological-treatment program. Notable CMC programs include:
- Arts in Corrections, "designed to rehabilitate inmates through art."
- A "Level I camp program for fire suppression, conservation and other community service work." The jobs include "trash pickup and removal" at Port San Luis Harbor District properties, including Avila Beach.
- Central Coast Adult School, which "aims to reduce the recidivism rate and help inmates rejoin the work force."
- Prison Industry Authority, which "manufactures and ships millions of dollars of prison-made products annually."
- Prisoners Against Child Abuse, which "donates more than $100,000 a year to local children's organizations."
- Narcotics Anonymous.
- Alcoholics Anonymous.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
