I am proud to announce the establishment of new mission and vision statements for Iowa Prison Industries (IPI). These new statements reflect not only who we are but also where we are going.
Mission Statement:
A self-sufficient program that positively impacts offender lives, reduces recidivism, and provides valued products and services to our customers.
Vision Statement:
A meaningful work opportunity for every offender.
When developing the new mission and vision statements, I asked the IPI Advisory Board, Management, and various IPI staff to answer these questions:
- Who are we?
- What do we do?
- Who are we doing this for?
- What do we want to accomplish in the future?
While our prior statements had served us well for nearly two decades, the new statements are significantly more straightforward and reflect our focus on providing offenders with the opportunity for Building Brighter Futures through our offender work training programs.
