‘Boot Camp’ helps young felons become productive citizens

As I have done in the past, sharing information with you, this week I want to share with you a program that has truly made a difference in our community. I want to thank Janelle Hall from the Miami-Dade corrections department, who was kind enough in providing the information for you the readers. Just so you know, what sparked my interest in this program was I met some young men at an event that were part of this Boot Camp, their stories fascinated me and so did their enthusiasm for becoming great citizens! 1369330860
