Pleasant Valley State Prison (PVSP) staff and incarcerated peer support specialists collaborated to create a population flag football league.
Recreation Therapist Devon Avant has been up to big things working with the Facility D population at PVSP.
The Peer Support Specialist Program (PSSP) is also assisting in this rehabilitative effort to help support those who need additional support or encouragement to participate.
Through the staff and PSSP efforts, a flag football league was created for the population.
Avant and Facility Capt. Gee coordinated to make this event successful.
