CANON CITY, Colo. — Three inmates at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility have crocheted and knitted 45 stockings for children being cared for by the Fremont County Department of Human Services.

Prison officials say the inmates are doing it on their own.

According to the Canon City Daily Record, the inmates were looking for something to do while serving time and prison officials thought it was a good way for them to give back to the community.
