Q.Mentoring A Prison Project In Marion Correctional Institution
Hi, I have written a couple of follow-up emails to an original exchange with one of your employees about helping a prisoner start an educational gardening program at the prison but I have not heard back from anyone, which has been disappointing to me and my prison friend. Please let me know if there is any interest in working with this very gardening-sophisticate inmate. The supervisory staff at the prison would look kindly on any support you might be willing/able to offer.

That would be difficult to manage for us, but you could try your local extension group. They have free materials online and in their office and can answer questions. Here is how to contact them:

We do select several community sponsorships each year from submitted applications.
