The Corrections Bureau operates a full 10-acre
garden, which has been very successful. Supervised inmates work
the garden five days a week. The inmates are not paid to work
in the garden, it is considered a privilege that can be taken
away. In 1997 we grew a variety of vegetables and produced a
combined total of 3,247 bushels. The produce from the garden
has gone a long way towards reducing the jail food budget. Other
non-profit organizations such as the Lake County Boys Ranch and
the Leesburg Food Bank and other organizations such as the Lake
County School System and the State Prison System were also provided
with much needed produce. |
