The Associated Press reports that a men's prison in northeastern Ohio recently offered a 5-course gourmet meal to 60 selected guests. All of the food was prepared and served by prisoners who are training for culinary careers after their release. Many of the ingredients were grown in the prison's on-site garden.
This is a project of EDWINS, a gourmet restaurant and culinary school in Cleveland which organizes culinary classes in hundreds of prisons around the United States. Graduates are able to leave prison with the skills and certifications necessary to land jobs in the food service industry.
