Baltimore's oldest black cemetery finally restored, with help of inmates
from the article by Justin Fenton in the Baltimore Sun:

As part of a program to put those serving time to work on meaningful projects, more than 40 prisoners have worked on the four-year effort to transform the cemetery's 34 acres.
