Pueblo, CO – The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office inmate labor crew is continuing to give back to the community through a series of no-cost projects for local agencies and non-profits this week.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the crew joined Pueblo County Public Works, the Department of Public Health and Environment, and the Fountain Creek Watershed District in cleaning up the area around and under the Pinon Bridge. The collaborative effort focused on removing debris, improving safety, and restoring the environment near the bridge.
In addition to outdoor cleanup efforts, inmates also helped pack, load, and deliver boxes of food for the Pueblo County Department of Human Services’ Emergency Food Assistance Program. The deliveries supported local families and individuals facing food insecurity.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that the inmate labor initiative provides valuable opportunities for rehabilitation while contributing to community well-being. The program allows participants to develop job skills and work habits while assisting with vital public projects.
These ongoing community efforts reflect the department’s commitment to service and collaboration across Pueblo County agencies.
