CJC’s “Job Prepped for Life” Program aims to empower women in Kendall and Bandera counties by helping them make better life choices and start anew.

The program provides support to women who have experienced past or present hardships by focusing on their strengths, identifying their talents, and enhancing their job skills, ultimately guiding them towards a fulfilling path.

CJC also offers an Inmate “Prepped for Life” Program that assists inmates in Kendall and Bandera County Jails in making positive life choices and transforming their behavior.

Classes are available to both male and female inmates, with the ultimate goal of helping them become healthier, happier, and more productive individuals.
