Additionally, offenders have produced over 350 polypropylene masks with filters thanks to the donations of several volunteers from the community. Ms. Dajuana Cross the facility Community Services Director stated, "We will continue to produce mask as long as we have materials and the need."
Warden Stanley Knight commented, "The Plainfield Correctional facility would like to thank those in the community for their generous donations of material, thread and sewing machines. Without your kindness and generosity, we are able to provide these much needed masks to those on the front lines."
