Captive Rearing in Prisons

The new Taylor's checkerspot captive rearing program at the Mission Creek Correctional Center for Women was highlighted in a recent article in the well-regarded Conservation Magazine. The article also featured the Oregon spotted frog captive rearing program at Cedar Creek Corrections Center, where frogs are being reared for release into a protected wetland at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

These innovative programs are the work of the Sustainable Prisons Project, a partnership between The Evergreen State College and the Washington State Department of Corrections. Read the article here.
