The prisons then donated to organizations in their area that were aiding the Haiti Relief Fund. Besides money, the Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility collected non-perishable food items.

That's really wonderful. Really.

It mentions participation by a "Juvenile Correction Facility". Sounds like real men in the making to me. :-)

Good on all of you for remembering that a mistake doesn't define the whole of who you are, and that there's good in you. Be proud of yourselves. For what it's worth - I'm sure proud of you. Mighty proud.

Lets watch and see how the radical right tries to spin this into something negative.
