DOC Enables Former Frog Technician to Join in the Annual OSF Release Event
by Graduate Research Associate Sarah Weber
The Sustainable Prisons Project is so excited that we were able to include one of our former frog technician inmates at the annual frog release this year! Harry Greer has worked with the Oregon spotted frog project at Cedar Creek Corrections Center since the project’s inception in 2009. This season Harry raised the frogs at CCCC until July when he was moved to work release. Department of Corrections staff at CCCC went above and beyond to accommodate and clear Harry for attendance at the release event. Many thanks to Superintendent Doug Cole, Captain Charlie Washburn and Classification Counselor Marko Anderson; it was a real joy to see Harry releasing the frogs he so carefully raised.
