Jail is a bad place to be any day, but Christmas behind bars is particularly sad.
To try and alleviate some of those jailhouse blues, churches, individuals, and the sheriff’s office, working with a local group, are making about $4,000 available to inmates.
“They can’t decide to eat what they want; they have to eat what’s given to them,” said Michael Graves, founder of Actively Changing Together. “A lot of the individuals don’t have the money to even make a call to their family members.”
At a recent press conference held at the Sheriff’s Office, Graves said ACT raised $2,500 from people and local churches, and Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson put up $1,500 for inmates in the Alamance County Detention Center to pay to make phone calls at Christmas and buy food from the jail commissary.
