Thanks for starting this thread. This is both an important issue and a major
opportunity for Permaculture - as food, as respect, as community, as Green,
as jobs, as sef-esteem and self-reliance. It is as or more important inside
prison walls as outside of them. Please keep this thread going. I'm inspired
to approach our County jails/Sherrif/Wardens - would like "ammo" (sorry for
the poor pun) from other Permaies, places, projects.
Thanks
