Last week, thirteen inmate barbers passed their exam administered by the NC Board of Barber Examiners. Each has completed more than 1,500 hours of classroom work and practical instruction and a full year working as an apprentice under the guidance of a licensed barber at Harnett CI.
The inmate barbers have received their Provisional Registered Barber License. After a graduation event on Sept. 10, they will be assigned to work until their release at a licensed prison barber shop. After release, they will be ready to receive their full barber license from the board and work as a professional barber.
Congratulations to the barber graduates!
