Creative Corrections Education Foundation

Creative Corrections is tremendously thrilled and honored to announce that while it is still in the beginning stages, we have recently established what we believe to be yet another exciting and rewarding undertaking. We fully intend on giving back to this industry, but more importantly, giving back to the human aspect involved. We have created a nonprofit organization called the Creative Corrections Education Foundation. The idea of the foundation is to provide educational opportunities to disadvantaged children of incarcerated individuals through scholarships and other creative strategies, in hopes of supporting and enhancing the futures of those children who may not otherwise have the option or opportunity.

We just recently received IRS notification that we were approved for tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and we will are working diligently to get everything up and running. We are very passionate about this endeavor and look forward to seeing the foundation and the lives of those who are touched by it grow and prosper into happy healthy accomplished successes.  For more information or to download our brochure, click HERE!

Creative Correctons Signs MOU with University of Wisconsin Law School

Creative Corrections and the University of Wisconsin Law School, Frank J. Remington Center (FJRC), have agreed that FJRC will assist with training, research, curricular development and other relevant support on current and future projects that they mutually agree to pursue.

The FJRC was founded forty years ago to provide students with a “learning center” in the area of criminal justice. The Center provides law students with the opportunity to develop the substantive knowledge, professional skills, and judgment necessary to excel as attorneys; provides high-quality service in individual cases; and engages in empirical research necessary to bring about systemic improvements. Today the Center includes civil as well as criminal projects.

The Center will also provide research-related resources via the University of Wisconsin’s network of academic and library resources. This MOU is the culmination of a twenty year relationship that began while Percy Pitzer was warden at the Federal Correctional Institution, Oxford, Wisconsin.
