At a time when prison gardens are more necessary than ever, Canada plans 
to close its four world famous prison gardens.

Exactly the WRONG choice!

Prisons everywhere, especially the US, should be adopting farm and 
garden training programs for all inmates. They have a long track record 
of low recidivism rates and prisoners become better people through 
interaction with plants and soil.
