SWEETWATER COUNTY Work crews from the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office’s inmate community service program were kept busy recently cleaning up litter along the interstate near Green River.
According to Deputy Dwaine Shafe, who supervises the program, the inmate work crews collected a total of 95 bags of trash from Interstate 80’s Exit 89 and Exit 91 on- and off-ramps. After gathering and bagging the trash, maintenance crews from the Wyoming Department of Transportation helped remove the trash by transporting it to the landfill.
The Sweetwater County Detention Center’s Inmate Community Service Program employs screened, misdemeanor-level volunteer inmates in cleanup, snow removal and other community service projects. The work crews carry out their tasks under the direct supervision of sworn detention officers.
