VOICED : Portugals prisons dig deep for food bank needy

In Portuguese prisons, inmates participate in garden cooperatives, growing fruits and vegetables for food banks. This initiative not only aids those in need but also helps prisoners develop skills and habits beneficial for reintegration into society. The program is expanding, with more prisons adopting the model, aiming to enhance both inmate rehabilitation and community support.

What was the quantity of vegetables produced by inmates last year, and how many people benefited from it?

What are the future plans for the vegetable garden initiative in Portuguese prisons?
