UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Two members of the work detail at a Connecticut state prison are expected to be penned there for life, working on the fence line to remove weeds and poison ivy. They like the work and find the poison ivy delicious.
Nibbles and Bits eat anything, except mountain laurel, and everything they need has been built by prisoners or donated, including their balance board.
Every morning, Nibbles gets on one side of the board and Bits on the other and they meet in the middle and butt heads.
Minimum security inmates nearing the end of their sentences work with the goats.
“It gives inmates a sense of purpose to care for farm animals,” Warden Anthony Coletti told The Associated Press. “And they really learn to care for them and about them. Everyone loves the goats.”
