Good morning Roy. A useful use of funds and use of incarcerated time to offer a hand-up. Impressive! Enjoy your day.

Excellent! Many of the incarcerated have no marketable skills which usually leads towards high recidivism rates. Teaching them something like cooking can help them have a direction when they get out.

People make mistakes, but I don't believe they should be punished for them forever, especially if they have atoned.  This is a nice program!

Good morning Roy,

What a wonderful program to give a hand up for the incarcerated people. Learning new skills like this will help them upon release.

Hello Roy - Kudos to Montgomery County Maryland for the Sweet Release Bakery Program which is a very clever name too.  Locally, Homeboy Industries has a similar program started by Father Boyle who has been honored nationally.

Hi Roy- I love this program!!! You can't expect someone to reenter society if they can't get a job.
