Rehabilitation

Labor Day luau hosted by Mule Creek visiting

A family visiting their incarcerated loved one at Mule Creek State Prison on Labor Day weekend for a luau themed event.
Families visiting their loved ones at Mule Creek were treated to a Labor Day luau.

Thanks to Mule Creek State Prison visiting staff and the family council, Labor Day weekend was made special by adding a touch of a Hawaiian luau.

The Labor Day luau offered props and Hawaiian themed backdrops for photo opportunities for families while they visited their incarcerated loved ones.

Other activities included a lively Hawaiian trivia game with their loved ones. 

The inmate family council donated the photo backdrops, props, and Hawaiian leis, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event.
