Logistical Challenges

Working within the confines of a federal prison was a huge logistical challenge. Having to store materials, dumpsters, and portable toilets outside the gates of the prison proved to be a difficult task, because there was large distance between the gate and the worksite. Moving debris and materials back and forth made the process much slower. This was made even more difficult due to an escort having to bring us everywhere. Timing these back and forth trips with the headcount of the pioneers proved to be yet another inconvenient task that slowed down our process.
