Horticulture company offering former inmates way back into society

From Checkpoint, 4:52 pm on 6 September 2024

A unique programme is offering former inmates a way back into society by offering them careers in horticulture. Over 60 prisoners have now been through the scheme, run by horticultural labour supply company Thornhill. Hawke's Bay Tairawhiti reporter Alexa Cook went to meet those moving from prison to the orchard and rebuilding their lives in the process.
