GRAND REOPENING: We’re proud to celebrate the official unveiling of the fully renovated men’s library at the Elmwood Correctional Men’s Facility, a meaningful upgrade made possible through our partnership with @go2MissionSC. Here’s what’s new: • A refreshed, modern space now offering more than 3,500 books, including self-help, legal resources, literature, recovery materials, and Spanish-language titles • Comfortable new furniture, expanded hours, and engaging programming that now attracts up to 50 visitors a day • Over 200 library cards already issued, with new mobile delivery services rolling out to reach dorms and higher-security areas “It has been nothing short of amazing and made my time here a lot better,” said Steven, an incarcerated person who frequently uses the library. Sheriff Jonsen emphasized that literacy, education, and personal development are essential to a restorative justice approach that supports safer communities when individuals return home. Mission College President Seher Awan and @SupEllenberg echoed that belief, noting that education should never be defined by circumstance. We’re grateful to everyone who made this renewed space possible! MORE DETAILS: sheriff.santaclaracounty.gov…
