Staff were encouraged to invite their families for guided tours of California Men’s Colony East Facility, a bounce house, ax throwing, and demonstrations by the institution’s fire house using real fire hoses for families to put out fake flames.
The prison’s Crisis Response Team offered a night vision display. Dogs were a hit as families enjoyed exhibitions by New Life K-9s and the Investigative Services Unit. There were also various games and contests, a barbecue, popcorn and snow cones.
“This amazing event provided good family fun for everyone,” said organizers. “Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible.”
