When some Nevada prison inmates who wanted to work on their golf game started to build a driving range, the state prison director got a bit teed off. Now it's a baseball field. Prisons Director Jackie Crawford said convicts at the prison system's 100-inmate Tonopah Conservation Camp got the idea for their own driving range after volunteering time to build one for the city of Tonopah. 'Our inmates made a beautiful driving range for the city,' Crawford said when asked recently about the convicts' activity. 'Then they said, 'Why not make our own?'' Crawford quickly stopped such talk. 'I can assure you that there are no golf courses at our prisons,' Crawford added. 'Not under this director.' Softball's another matter, she said, adding, 'That's something all the prisons should have. It helps expend energy.' |
