Inmates Grow Food for Lawrence Pantries at Leavenworth Prison
Leavenworth Federal Prison inmates on a 17 acre farm participate in the Therapy and Mentoring Horticulture Program producing more than 100000 pounds of fruit and vegetables for the prison and local food banks. The project uses rainwater harvesting composting and worm-powered fertilizer with all seeds and labor donated by the community. More than half the harvest supports local nonprofits with a planned shipment to tornado relief efforts.
