Prisoners Rebuild Toys For Salvation Army Drive
Prisoners at U S Penitentiary Leavenworth repair and paint discarded toys for Christmas distribution by the Salvation Army. Seventy five items refurbished in the Toy Shop by inmates from six shops. Warden Taylor calls the project a major rehabilitative effort and says it will continue annually. The effort is led by Lt. Ollin Grimsley with Maj. Fred M. Stowell directing the Sojourners group. The Toys for Tots style program benefits both the children and the inmates.
