Ever so slightly, and slowly, at a snail’s pace, does the DOC change for the better. We had to double-check this story to make sure it was true. Some enlightened individual started a Perryville Focus Group to “drive positive change, discuss ideas to improve life in Perryville.” There has only been one meeting, but look what they’ve come up with so far: Family reunification program, Senior activity center, ASU lounge, Reentry skills for long-term residents, Culinary program, Cosmology certificate program, grow our own veggie greenhouse. This appears to be a diverse group of ladies with new and innovative ideas. We hope this idea gains traction and their great ideas are implemented!
