Video Chicken Live: Interview w/Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall | Coop & Garden Program for the Jail-6.24.2022

Coming to you live from Creedmoor, NC is Video Chicken Live where we discuss and answer your questions about everything chickens and coops. Ask any question you want and Matt, Kristen and Ingrid will answer for you. We specialize in chickens and chicken coop construction.

Today's guest is Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall. The sheriff along with the nonprofit group Unconditional Freedom instituted a restorative program at the jail for the inmates. The program involves gardening, bee keeping, and chicken keeping.

Carolina Coops donated an 8'x24' American Coop that Matt helped the inmates build. Sheriff Kendall talks about how building the chicken coop impacted the inmates and how the coop will continue to help other inmates down the road.

The sheriff is a big fan of Matt's and Carolina Coops and tells the audience what it was like to work with Matt on this project. He is a chicken keeper himself and modeled his coop build after a Carolina Coop. The sheriff also talks about the impact on other parts of the close knit community.

We hope this program will be an inspiration to other institutions who will see its benefit. Carolina Coops was very honored to be a part of this experience and program with the Mendocino County Jail and Unconditional Freedom, who filmed a documentary on this program.
