Alaska Governor Sarah Palin broke ground for the Goose Creek Correctional Center on June 17, 2009. The Goose Creek Correctional Center will be a medium-security facility focusing on rehabilitating inmates. It will offer classes, job training, Alcoholics Anonymous, and other services to help inmates re-integrate back into society. As the term implies, a medium-security prison houses inmates who committed crimes more serious than appropriate for housing at a lower security prison, but not serious enough to warrant maximum security.
