Kandi Wright \u201925 has built an impactful career with the Michigan Department of Corrections<\/span><\/span>. Today, she facilitates the first and only higher education-in-prison program in the Upper Peninsula with LSSU. Kandi was previously an officer and then a prison counselor, giving her a wide range of experience with facility operations; experiences that now help her understand the challenges and benefits of post-secondary education programming.<\/div>\n
_<\/span><\/div>\n
Serving as a bridge to other facility staff and the university, she has helped illustrate how successful a program like this can be. Inspired by the men in the program, she went back to LSSU to complete her bachelor's degree, too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Outside the facility, CFC Wright is active with the Michigan Law Enforcement Torch Run<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, serving as an Area Director in support of Special Olympics. She enjoys giving back and sees value in connecting with her community, as a corrections professional, on the other side of the walls. She recently was chosen to be the torch bearer for opening ceremonies for their Winter Games.<\/div>\n
-<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When asked what motivates CFC Wright, she said that earlier in her career a man housed in the unit she was posted in got out and ended up moving next door to her parents. Because of quality programs and supervision, he was successful; and to her, that illustrated the importance of quality corrections.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
