Inmates at the Utah State Penitentiary aren’t just serving time this holiday season — they’re serving others. This year’s Festival of Trees will feature its fourth tree created by inmates, who spend hours of their time crocheting the ornaments. Working on the tree is a special treat for inmates, who have to earn the privilege. Every penny counts at the festival, which has been the hospital’s largest fundraiser for 88 years. It raises money to help offset the cost of medical expenses for children receiving care. Families pay a yearly maximum, no matter how long their child stays or what procedures are done. Proceeds from the Festival help make up the difference. The hospital had more than 14,000 visits last year, with financial aid totaling $14.3 million.
