Inmate Beekeeping Partnership
A public-private partnership is teaching inmates at the Reception and Medical Center how to be beekeepers. This program is unique in Florida and will allow inmates to learn important job skills for re-entry upon release from prison. Below are photos and a video from the recent open house held at the RMC. The first class graduated from the course on August 16th and the next class is expected to start in the near future.
