Lake Erie Correctional Institution raises donations
 
Inmates and staff at the MTC-operated Lake Erie Correctional Institution in northeastern Ohio continue to work to be good neighbors to residents of the nearby community of Conneaut.  This fall the Institution raised $1300 in donations for the Conneaut Food Pantry and the rural community’s Right Track after school program for kids.

The initial fundraiser was organized by the prison’s Responsibility As a Man, or RAM program, a counseling program required of all domestic violence offenders incarcerated at the institution.  Program participants made arrangements with a local Chinese restaurant to sell inmates food during one of their movie nights.  Inmates placed more than 1000 orders and the event raised $668 for charity.

A second fundraising event at Lake Erie involved inmates being photographed using various backdrops.  Participating inmates purchased the photos for their family and friends.  This creative fundraising effort raised another $632.

Lake Erie Correctional Institution allows inmates to operate one fundraising event per month.  Inmates earn spending money while working various jobs at the facility.
