 All right, kids! Where do you want to see Santa this year? The mall? The basement of your church after mass? A parade of some sort?
Well, you know what, we’re going to somewhere even better: The Prison System’s Training Academy! Yes, Thursday night, from 5-7 p.m., the Philadelphia Prison System’s training facility (across from the defunct Holmesburg Prison, natch). Things don’t really get better than this, do they?
The press release quotes:
“The Training Academy is right across the street from the Enfield and Holmesburg neighborhoods,” said Director of Training Lt. Frederick Abello. “We want to welcome our neighbors and help celebrate Christmas with them this year.” Santa Claus, in the person of Correctional Officer Orlando Carugno, will be on hand to greet children and their families.
You know, I’m all for outreach by the prisons — okay, to be honest I don’t really fathom how anyone could have an opinion on this — but I think it might be some sort of a trap. Doesn’t Santa know all the boys who are naughty and nice? And doesn’t Correctional Officer Orlando Carugno know that as well? (He does.) Don’t you all see it? They’re going to arrest the bad kids! And possibly give the good ones candy canes!
Eh, maybe that’s not so bad. Either way, full non-jokey press release after the jump.
Santa Claus to Appear at Prisons Training Academy
Academy Opens Doors to Neighbors for First Neighborhood Christmas Season.
Naughty or Nice, children in the neighborhood of the Philadelphia Prison System are invited to visit Santa Claus at the Prison System’s Training Academy (8215 Torresdale Avenue) on Thursday, December 22, 2005 from 5-7 PM. “The Training Academy is right across the street from the Enfield and Holmesburg neighborhoods,” said Director of Training Lt. Frederick Abello. “We want to welcome our neighbors and help celebrate Christmas with them this year.” Santa Claus, in the person of Correctional Officer Orlando Carugno, will be on hand to greet children and their families.
“We want the community to see the Training Academy as a resource,” said Prisons Commissioner Leon A. King. “We’ve been the polling place in recent elections, and we want to be an open and accessible community resource, in addition to the larger public safety mission of the Prison System.”
The Training Academy – directly in front of the decommissioned Holmesburg Prison – has two classes of Correctional Trainees in session this winter, and hosts evening classes for the Community College of Philadelphia. The Academy has also been instrumental in providing tours of Holmesburg Prison for neighborhood groups. The Christmas Outreach was organized by the Office of Community Justice and Outreach, Wilfredo Rojas, Director.
