Inmates at a county jail in Florida volunteered to clean debris left in the wake of Michael, the strongest hurricane to hit the continental U.S. in more than a decade.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office tweeted photos Thursday of deputies and inmates in prison stripes "clearing the way" in the Euchee Valley.
The inmates "volunteered to help their community following the storm because they’ve participated in programs to learn to use heavy equipment while incarcerated at the jail," the sheriff's office said.
Officials said five inmates recently graduated from the county jail's heavy equipment operations class, which taught them how to safely operate machinery often used on construction sites.

LOL, I thought I would be the only one who had “Cool Hand Luke” be the first thing that popped in my head.
Back when I worked on Forest Service fire crews, there were plenty of inmates working in fire camps and on the line, especially in California. They generally ran the best kitchens, as I recall.
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Puerto Rico is waiting and waiting and waiting
This is good, but seems like the guys should be wearing some kind of work gloves. JMHO
That’s because everybody there is now here...............
“Lucille!”
Good. I wonder how that works. Maybe work a day and reduce your sentence by a day?
Absolutely
Walton County has the highest point in Florida.
