Inmates helping prepare Storybook Island for young visitors

Pierre, S.D. - State prison inmates are assisting with sprucing up a popular attraction for children in Rapid City.

Minimum-security inmates from the Rapid City Minimum Unit are helping with lawn care, painting and other general maintenance of Storybook Island.

The work began April 10th and will continue until the park opens for the season in mid-May.
