Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said he’s amazed by the change he’s seen in some of the participants.
“It really blows me away,” Dart said. “But Bruno is really obsessed with telling them things like that and talking about things on that level. You see them in those white chef coats — they physically look different, and mentally, they are different too.”
It’s too early to tell whether the program will make the inmates less likely to become repeat offenders. The recidivism rate for all types of offenders nationwide is higher than 50 percent.
There are big plans for the future: There’s a documentary about the program in progress and a cookbook in the planning stages. A food truck may also start delivering the inmates’ fresh-made pizzas to the lunch crowd at the Daley Center as early as this summer.
Plans to expand the program to maximum security inmates are under review, Dart said. “So much of what I’m trying to do is put (inmates) in position to change people’s attitudes,” he said.
