Excerpt:
The reduced custody program partnered with the Saskatoon Food Bank, St. Mary’s Wellness and Education Centre and Pleasant Hill School and provided potatoes, beets, carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables each week from its crops. The project received contributions from Early’s Farm and Garden, Hamm Construction and Thomas Fresh Inc.
This year’s crop included 14,000 pounds of fresh potatoes, according to an email from the Ministry of Corrections and Policing.
Three inmates tended the garden, under supervision by the jail’s staff. The inmates have farming experience and made this year’s harvest one of the most successful to date, the ministry noted.
Since the garden project began in 2010, it has produced about 190,000 pounds of vegetables. It started when a staff member and several inmates asked if they could plant a vegetable garden to help feed people in need in the community.
