WE CAN’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE NOT EXPOSED TO
When a house of corrections is located in a rural, farming area, it’s a no-brainer to include a gardening program in the vocational and educational offerings to those incarcerated. The ‘students’ of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office get both classroom, and hands-on exposure to Gardening, Herbalism, and Nutrition Classes to increase collaboration skills and decrease stress. There is a level of therapy that growing and sharing food offers, including future opportunities in the agricultural industry once they are released. Of course, there are other vocational programs too, and work-release opportunities for those close to release, hoping to find a path once they have fulfilled their time served.
