Better Holes and Gardens 0
The Virginia Beach Correctional Center starts a garden. Someone actually gave the jail a greenhouse:
It costs the city about $4,000 a day to feed the jail’s roughly 1,300 inmates. Stolle, who took office Jan. 1, thinks he can do better. If the garden experiment works, he said he plans to expand the project to 2 acres. He’s also got land-use rights for 90 acres in Princess Anne, which could be used to grow even more food, like corn, beans and squash, he said.
And the inmates quoted in the story like getting out into the open air.
