American OEM Hosts Cookout at Turney Center Correctional Facility
Burns, Tenn. -- Hardwood flooring manufacturers American OEM and Hearthwood Floors recently hosted a cookout at their manufacturing facility outside of Nashville, Tenn. The annual appreciation event, now in its fourth year, honors 200 inmates and more than 50 Department of Corrections staff who make running the plant at Turney Center possible.
The companies participate in a voluntary Prison Industry Enterprise (PIE) program to employ incarcerated individuals to help manufacture its products. Located on the campus of the Turney Center Industrial Complex, the operations provide voluntary work opportunities for inmates and civilians.
