School District Donates Lawnmowers To Century Correctional Program
October 24, 2012
The Escambia County School District has donated numerous surplus lawnmowers to Century Correctional Institution.
The mowers were outdated and beyond economical repair for the school district. But the mowers will be repaired by CCI inmates and used in a rehabilitation program that benefits North Escambia schools, including Northview High, Byrneville Elementary and Bratt Elementary.
As part of the program, CCI inmates do lawn maintenance and other work on the school campuses at no cost to the school district. No students are allowed on campus while the inmates are working.
Items donated to Century Correctional by the school district included six zero-turn mowers and four push mowers.
