Two former inmates did not want to let their time behind bars define them after prison, so after they were released, the pair started their own forestry company in New Mexico
After spending three years in prison, Lawrence Jaramillo and fellow inmate Joshua Melendrez had the idea to take the training they got in the Los Lunas prison and apply that to a forestry and firefighting business, Jaramillo told CNN. All Around Forestry was born at the beginning of the year and is officially open for business."I would assume that there are people out there that frown upon it with us being ex-convicts, but we can't let that hold us back.
"The IWC program provides minimum level security inmates the opportunity to learn about natural resources; fire suppression and emergency response activities," she said in a statement."After participating, inmates receive certifications and work experience that gives them real opportunities to succeed when they return to our communities."Jaramillo fought four fire seasons before getting a business license in November 2019 and starting All Around Forestry.
