Maury inmates help tornado victims

Maury Correctional Institution’s Inmate Service Club made a donation of $300 to the American Red Cross to assist with tornado relief. Inmates learned of the destruction in the Snow Hill area from local media reports and decided they wanted to help the local community. Inmates raised their money by selling family photos during visiting sessions.

Employees at Maury also conducted fundraisers for their co-workers affected by the recent tornadoes. The funds raised were divided between four Maury CI staff members.
