I wonder;do USAF bases still have the auto hobby shops?


Nellis AFB did that last time I was there, about five years ago. There
were Federal prisoners on the base and the Arts and Crafts Center had
inmates working there.

The center allowed folks to come in, take a safety lesson and use a
complete wood shop. Inmates actually built my garage cabinets THAT I
purchased through the Arts and Craft Center.

The prison has closed and prisoners moved.


I wouldn't have thought they would just leave them there on the honor
system :-)



Some of the inmate orderlies had access to places; even staff needed
military escort.


And you wouldn't have thought how many pregnancies occurred on that
base...while they were there :-/
