CONWAY, SC (WBTW) — Non-violent criminals in Horry County are trading time behind bars for time helping Hurricane Matthew victims rebuild.
The program is called Pretrial Intervention, or PTI.
It’s for non-violent offenders or people who commit crimes like shoplifting or simple possession, but don’t have a criminal history.
Director of the program Mary Powell says the criminals have to serve 60 hours of community service.

This is something, prisoners are helping out in a natural disaster, but you don't hear of any foreign country even sending food or cash to help. We need to stop too! America first, to hell with the rest.
Good move
