Major Program: Master Gardener
The Little Sandy Correctional Complex requested a Master Gardener program in 2009. The program continued for 5 years until the ANR agent transferred to the Menifee ANR/4-H Position. The program had a lot of success throughout the years. Each inmate that graduated from the 12-week class received 90 days off their sentence and received their restricted use pesticide license. There were 5 inmates that received initial jobs in the horticulture field after being paroled.
