Farming project at prison a great idea

18.AUG.06

EDITOR: It’s so amazing to journey to the leeward side of this island to the green mountain ridge of Belle Isle and look at this country’s Prison inmates farming hard on the hilliside above the new correctional facility to be. The inmates seemed to be well organized, and visible crops look healthy and well taken care of.

Kudos to the Farm Officer Thomas Bobb who is keeping the system on stream. This is a learning system for the inmates, and it is great to see local business houses supporting the cause.
