Today we rewarded a group of OPSO inmates who have displayed 50+ days of good behavior, with a surprise in-person visit with their families. “Donuts with Dad After School Snack” was a big success. The families and the inmates were both surprised and excited to see one another. Thanks to Shipley Do-Nuts Old Metairie for providing the donuts and to Shell for providing school supplies for the kids. The OPSO works hard every day to provide the best possible care for the inmates in our custody. It is a good day for everyone when we can reward them for their good behavior with events like this!
