Garden Time is a Rhode Island–based organization that works to humanize the situation at the Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institution. They run three programs: an In-Prison Garden Education Program, which teaches incarcerated individuals sustainable agricultural skills; a Green Reentry Job Training Program, which supports formerly incarcerated persons through hands-on training and employment pathways in the green industry; and the Canopy Crew, an urban forestry initiative that employs formerly incarcerated persons to plant and maintain trees in underserved communities across Rhode Island.Listen in as the CoH team explores Garden Time’s work and how it supports mental health issues within the incarceration system.
