But they are pay ing the price and try ing to move on They should be treated as such This program can be a pivotal point for them" Jose Martinez is a slate inmate with approximately eight months left to sen e He said he had never worked prior to participating in the inmate work release program "All my goals were centered around greed" Martinez said "I still ant things but now I hve enough work skills that can earn what want The work crew has done more to rehabilitate me than any other program or person throughout the prison system I definitely have an excellent chance to be productive and earn a living for my two kids" David Storm is another inmate from Salt Lake City and a gang member Fie enjoys working on the jail crew and said he isn't doing it for the money since half of ev erything he earns goes to the Office of Recovery Services He has three sons and plans to get married when he is leased "I have always worked hard and had some skills am an artist and ran a paint city and body repair shop in Salt ake" Storm said "I like giv ing something back to and feel like am contributing to the community It is also better for me to be out working rather than sitting in a cell It is a privilege to be on the work crew and we have to earn that privilege I've worked with the crew for the past six months and plan to continue ike everyone else some day s hav e a bad day but " it passes and keep going About midmorning Greathouse brought sodas and doughnuts for the crew he Giles said her gesture was unusual six men look a quick break and without any order from Giles was back at work within minutes "The guys know what expect from them" Giles said "'They know the rules ill ing to do and guidelines and are needs to be done They work hard and take pride in what they accomplish " ciety Patricio Solono is a state inmate that has been on the ork crew since it began He was shot in the fool in lKf while on the streets of Salt Lake City and had part of his foot amputated The work program has helped him gain self respect and lows him a chance lo giv e something back He has six months left to son e lo socierv I before being released and is anxious to son Ja rci return to his "I have ieimed a lot of different yo'k skills that yvill help me when cot out" he said "If can work tor 40 vonis per hour cm work tor whjiev or an enipioy cr lather and pays want to be a reNponsihie be there tor my wn am not a bad person msi made a mistake and have matured a lot since I've boon here If could tell young peop'c anything it would be to stay m scruv! and get an education Pnson isn't lite being in prison hen is the same as hemg dead to vx 'ety people from ihe county drive bv and see us on! yvorking s nice to see thorn man " ihranos are designed to rv"cr't the communities and through the otlorts of ity car everyone working together Delia prov ide a much needed son ice to residents Ihe inmates who helped move Vila City ibrary contents tound many of the Nvks fascinating and enioyed the opportunity to look through several of them as the day progressed o ri kp Inmates provide muscle for a e hat makes me feel goid about 'msc'f and shows they appreciate what yve are doing It also shovys me if s not tM hue Now car leash nn son Nyy u fse a book move Miss Millard Scholarship Pageant Sat July 31 - DHS Palladium Preshow 6:30 pm Pageant 7 pm copy LL! t1uVuuniU |
