Boys Prison

June 19, 2008
Last week I spent an amazing week in Haiti with a number of other people. We spent most of our time in construction and in food distribution.

However we had an opportunity to visit a Boys Prison in Port-Au-Prince on Tuesday, June 10, 2008. The prison is not for boys that have committed heinous crimes, its for boys who are homeless and without guardians. The stated purpose for the prison is that the boys are better off there than in the dangerous streets of Port-Au-Prince.

I'll let you be the judge with the pictures posted here. Here is a picture of the prison from outside. This building is directly behind the police station. The doorway framed in blue is the entrance to the prison.
