MISSOURI - This year, the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Northeast District and the Women’s Eastern Reception, Diagnostic, and Correctional Center (WERDCC) in Vandalia are celebrating 10 years of work with the incarcerated personnel work release program.

Examples of such tasks include mowing, trimming, litter pickup, landscape maintenance and other odd jobs.
