Brown Dog Welding

Launch Control. Demon takes flight!

Check out the latest episode of our Still Building America podcast. We interview 27-year-old Jesse Oosterhouse, a welding instructor at Muskegon Correctional Facility, who led 30 incarcerated men in creating a meaningful sculpture for ArtPrize 2025. We talk about dignity, second chances, and the power of learning a real skill behind the walls. It's a MUST LISTEN! https://www.thefabricator.com/podcast/episode/still-building-america/rebuilding-lives-in-prison-through-welding-with-jesse-oosterhouse (All photos courtesy of Jesse Oosterhouse and Michigan Department of Corrections)
