A small initiative with a massive heart - a 'green corrections' drive in Pibor Prison is changing the lives of the incarcerated, equipping them with farming skills and, more importantly, hope for a better future upon completion of their sentences. “When I am finally released, I’m going to teach my children how to grow rice in the rich land of Pibor,” says Mary, an inmate.
