JAMESTOWN, N.D.- Inmates at James River Correctional Center are taking the time to help those in need.
It all started with an unusual request made by an inmate more than a decade ago.
“One resident asking me for some yarn,” says Chaplain Mark Hanes from the James River Correctional Center.
The inmate was looking for a way to pass time.
He took it upon himself to learn how to crochet, and soon after, other inmates followed suit.
“Before long there were dozens of guys crocheting,” Hanes said.
