Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The big crisis comes when prisoners first arrive at this idyllic retreat. Those who stay (and that's most of them) become involved in reforestation projects and tailoring of provincial parks. The work is hard but other amenities provide enough diversion to make experience good.
