The Lee County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Southern Union State Community College (SUSCC), held a
graduation ceremony June 9 for Lee County Jail inmates who recently completed the Ready-to-Work program. The
base objective of the program, which targets non-violent offenders, is to prepare inmates to be employable by
developing the mindsets, attitudes and skills necessary to successfully seek and obtain jobs upon release. The goal
is to emphasize accountability, responsibility and good judgement in order to become productive citizens.
