NM Dept. of Corrections seeking donated suits

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Department of Corrections is asking for donated dress suits to help inmates prepare for the business world.

Corrections officials recently launched a suit donation drive with the goal of giving suits to outgoing inmates.

The department’s “Dress for Success” program seeks to teach inmates how to tie a tie and insert cufflinks.

Officials say the program is designed to help inmates start over and reinvent themselves after serving time.
