Wheat in the blade

"A vast industrial enterprise wants to develop the prison land. It will create jobs, but I believe the decision should be thought about carefully before giving up the land as it plays an important social role: tilling the soil, working the fields or the vegetable processing line, and seeing the result of their labours every day, gives the inmates the desire and hope to reintegrate themselves into society."
