Why did the Barber course stop?
RESPONSE:The decision to discontinue the Barber course was made after careful thought and deliberation. The Barber course was offered at the Clemens Unit. When the Youthful Offender Program was initiated at the Clemens Unit, the unit population changed. A survey was conducted to determine the needs and interests of the youthful offenders. The survey indicated little interest in the Barber course and more interest in construction trades. Additionally, labor market information indicated better employment opportunities in construction trades.
