Inmates work-release program aids youths at Belldina greenhouse
Since 1969 John Belldina has hired about 150 Kennedy Center inmates at Paradise Gardens on Riverside Parkway. The work-release program places youths in community jobs for about three months, with Belldina noting their hard work and respect. Robert Gribben of the corrections institute lauds Belldina for mentoring, paroling, and helping former inmates reenter society. The piece also notes a Morgantown High School Class of 1937 reunion plans and calls for addresses to contact a reunion organizer.
