The coronavirus pandemic has been hard on all of us, but it has been especially tough for incarcerated members of our society. Inmates at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution (MCI) in Concord are unable to get out of their cells for either their daily outdoor activities or meals, and all visitations have been suspended.
The prison authorities asked us if we could do something to boost morale, and we responded by putting together 350 care packages. A typical care package contained shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, socks, and handwritten post cards.
We believe these packages brought a smile to each inmate’s face.
