In early June a group of inmate from Norfolk County spent a day doing maintenance and painting at Lovering Heights.  Sheriff Michael Bellotti created a community service program to help municipalities and churches in Norfolk County. Inmates who take part are screened to make sure they not a risk or danger to the public. Some inmates have special trade skills, but in general the work they do involves painting, carpentry, landscaping and general clean-up. Projects are initiated by sending the sheriff a letter requesting help.  Selectman Crowley arranged the day of maintenance in Medway. 

Sheriff Bellotti is pleased with the program.  “It provides obvious benefits to the municipalities and churches in the form of free labor and the inmates also benefit by getting out from behind the jail walls for a few hours, working in a positive and appreciative environment.”
