businesses. According to Charlie Richardson, NSK-AKS Plant Manager, "The
Clarinda plant has been very successful over the last 20 years. We are
always looking for new and better ways to do business. This is possible

Clarinda
Treatment Complex
Originally known as the Clarinda Mental
Health Institute, the CTC has evolved into a multi- functional state
facility that now includes a mental hospital and a correctional facility
that share many services with the privately owned Clarinda Academy. A new
750 bed medium security prison was opened on the CTC Campus in 1996.
Clarinda was awarded this facility by the State of Iowa in a highly
competitive bidding process because of the hard work and cooperation of
the community leaders and the CTC staff.
