Managers from the prison volunteered their personal time to attend the event, showcasing a commitment that extends beyond the confines of the correctional facility.

The staff displayed their team spirit by seizing the chance to play a friendly game of bowling.

Capt. R. Boozer emphasized the significance of extending support to the Special Olympics community. Witnessing the joy on the faces of the participants during the bowling event was genuinely inspiring. In addition, Capt. R. Boozer expressed a sense of fulfillment for dedicating time to such a worthy cause
