A difficult past landed them behind bars, but a job training program is helping inmates at Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility in Santee sew their way to a better future.
Women in the Sheriff's Sewing Program gain the skills, experience, knowledge, hope and independence to prepare them for work when they return to the community.
Just like their needlework and stitches, they need to stay in the straight and narrow as they make a fresh start.
Watch the video to see how the sewing program is also paying tribute to the ultimate sacrifice of deputies and officers killed in the line of duty across the nation.
