I can now say I have been.
A group of girlfriends went with me to a woodworking sale at the prison in a neighboring town.
The inmates work with wood in a vocational rehabilitation program and then the items are sold to the public for the cost of the wood.
Good deals are found.
This fairly elaborate birdhouse was $60.
$35 for the barn birdhouse
This lidded box
with removable tray was $15
The inlaid, cedar-lined blanket chest...
$78
Next sale is in April!

Pretty awesome! Did you get anything?
Wow. That is amazing woodwork. I hope you snatched up one of those wonderful works!
I am morbidly curious about anything involving prisons and prisoners, so this is too cool for me!
The work is gorgeous too, I hope you bought lots of stuff.
Sounds like a good program - inmates learn a skill and keep busy doing something productive. I'm surprised the items aren't sold for more to help pay for part of the cost of their incarceration...
I LOVE the lidded boxes! Did you treat yourself?
The boxes.....
I love boxes
The chest looks great. If I were in jail, (again), I would make the chest and dream of escaping inside it, but, of course, I would wisely go back to my cell and continue trying to be a "good" prisonner.
I love that first chairs and table set! Stunning!
wow...they are all beautifully made and affordable too :)
