... this industry is changing from the old ways of doing things , and we ’ re excited to be a part of it
the US and plans to add at least one or two more each year .
“ The offices support our service and supply segment , which makes up around 40 percent of our revenue by helping maintain previous projects ,” Mitch says . “ Between replacement parts and renovations , it ’ s a steady revenue growth model . Construction tends to trend up and down in accordance with the economy , but service and supply help stabilize things .”
Even during Covid-19 , while many industries struggled , business did not slow down for Cornerstone or the correctional sector . “ We were considered an essential service ,” he states . “ Actually , the nature of the pandemic required us to develop new products to keep staff and residents safe .”
Resident safety and wellbeing is a topic that Mitch feels strongly about , and he is proud of the role Cornerstone is playing as these issues shape the future of the industry . “ Even with the current state of inflation rates , we ’ ve never had this much available work before , and a lot of that work is centered around updating older facilities with more modern considerations for the mental health of residents ,” he explains . “ We are seeing a much-needed transition towards supporting residents ’ mental health and preparing them for their transition out of the facility so that when they re-enter society , they can lead productive and fulfilling lives .
“ At Cornerstone ,” he continues , “ we ’ re proud to be a part of this growing movement because everybody deserves a second chance , and second chances for residents of these facilities can be deeply impacted by the conditions they experience while incarcerated .”
