Putnamville Inmates, Staff Do Good Deeds

GREENCASTLE -- Putnamville Correctional Facility staff recently donated $2,554 and 1,021 food items to Indiana community organizations in support of First Lady Cheri Daniels' Hoosiers Helping Hoosiers Food Drive.

Putnamvile staff kicked off a food drive on the same day Hoosiers Helping Hoosiers commenced. The prison's month-long event was coordinated by Kelli Searing, Richard McDonald and Crystal Brown, who organized activities with incentives to promote staff and offender participation.

Staff who donated $20 "leased" the superintendent's parking space for a day, during which time the superintendent parked in the staff parking lot and rode the staff shuttle bus, and, for every week that 100 food items were donated, the superintendent and assistant superintendents, Phil Slavens and Brian Smith, waited tables for staff during lunch.

Perks were also received by offenders who were assigned to the housing unit, from which the most money was donated.

"I'm fortunate to work with staff and offenders who unselfishly respond to the needs of others and thank all who contributed to its success," said Superintendent Bruce Lemmon.
