Arizona's State Prison Complex in Perryville now has a new cosmetology school, offering incarcerated women hands-on training and a path to careers after release.
The school includes a full-service training salon and classroom equipped with 20 salon stations, three shampoo stations, and two nail stations.
Students will receive training in cosmetology, chemical safety, and sanitation — all designed to help them meet Arizona's licensing requirements.
State corrections officials say the program covers the cost of training, reducing financial barriers for students preparing to enter the workforce after prison.
