Sheriff launches inmate farm program
more than chickens
A new program at the county’s REACT (Re-Entry and Enhanced Alternative to Custody Training) Center includes inmates taking care of laying hens. The eggs are collected daily and hard-boiled in the kitchen and made available to inmates and staff (Photo contributed).
I went to jail last week. Yes, you read that right. Well, I actually visited jail. I thought I would spend an hour or so meeting with the Sheriff and members on his team to discuss the new laying hen and goat facilities.
