Three community work squads from Dan
River Prison Work Farm at Yanceyville have been hard at work taking down the security fences at the old Polk Youth Institution in Raleigh. |
 |
The squads are taking down lengths of
fencing that stand ten feet tall. They roll the fence up so it can be used at another prison. Correctional officers estimated the rolls weighed over 500 pounds. |

Sgt. Ashley of Dan River says the hot,
humid days, heavy rolls of fencing and sharp wire make for tough work. He estimates that the prison compound has three miles of fence around it. |
