Folsom Prison Inmates Find Calm In Crocheting Gifts For Those In Need

[@SharonGauthier-z8q]

Glad to see these inmates doing something for others. It is therapeutic. I have been crocheting since I was young. It definitely helped me get through my time battling cancer. I made hats and scarves for my boys and their friends.

[@sbeverlee]

What a beautiful sight. Crocheting is not only therapeutic, it is a way of keeping your mind creative and active. Good on you guys, what a blessing for others your creating.

[@mrtahoe]

I’ve worn these hats while homeless and very glad I had them

[@dorothyesked1802]

I pray this program is happening. What a beautiful way of giving back. God bless the people who made this possible along with the prisoners. 😊

[@georgiamiller4938]

They crochet better than I do. Wonderful.

[@denisemmathis2321]

Brave men (that took a leap into the unknown) who found satisfaction and joy in giving. The people who made this program possible, "Thank you!"

[@barbaraplourde7925]

That is awesome helping these guys instead of arguing fighting in there whatever they do that's not good for them at least crocheting helps them out great job guys.🤗😘👀

[@JaniceCox-yz5fx]

What a way of giving back. Well done to everyone.

I have a Toothless dragon made by someone in prison for my son. I absolutely love it.

[@SpiritBear12]

Wow, some of those guys are really good. I've been crocheting for years and I have not even attempted to do some of the techniques that some of those men have done, particularly the hat at 2:22. He did a very nice job on it. The stitches are all nice and even and the color changing and patterns are very professional looking. Good for them! :-)

[@ebonylocks9234]

I was thinking the same thing

[@snifferproductions9651]

I guess whenever you have nothing else to do other than crochet, you get pretty good at it.

[@fionasaunders7646]

Wonderful ,that’s brilliant . 👏👏👏

[@djay6142]

Good for u all. Crocheting is fun, relaxing, creative and your are excited to see the finishing. It's not girly, but a beautiful thing. I'm a 58 year old black man. I learned how to do it in 2008. I stop going out to clubs and bars around that time, beside it's too dangerous out there nowadays. I've made blankets, scarfs, booties, hats, cardigans, shorts, even bralettes. Rosie Greer, a big man black, former NFL player and actor, crochets and does needlepoint. I don't anyone is going to tease him about it, lol. Guys keep up the good work, GOD BLESS

[@Trund27]

That sounds fantastic. It’s a wonderful art form and so good for the mind. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🧶

[@lilianahorjea8183]

God bless them

[@kiviabrown2335]

They should crochet something for themselves as well too. I was thinking that they should make their own crochet hooks as well too.

[@judith1564]

"The broken fabric of their lives"? Oh come on - stop the puns and schmaltzy saccharine nonsense.

[@forahigherlove]

Bad idea. I worked in the prison.

[@Sarahlinii]

How is it a bad idea?

[@alexanderdevora6302]

Punk police...
