While, many Correctional Industries have partnerships with private companies, Arizona Correctional Industries (ACI) feels that they have a unique partnership with Hickman Farms … a third generation, family run business and Arizona’s largest egg producer. It’s unique in that ACI not only provides offenders for work opportunities at Hickman Farms, but also provides Hickman Farms with products and services. As a matter of fact, Hickman Farms is ACI’s 4th largest customer. What makes the partnership even more unique – and enduring – is that ACI supports Hickman Farms’ charitable efforts in the community, and both ACI and Hickman Farms strongly believe that the opportunities they are both providing to offenders will help decrease recidivism and make communities in Arizona safer.
