SCI Waymart

Gardening season is in full swing, and some of the Back Mountain’s best gardens will be on display this weekend. And Lackawanna County's wastewater treatment plant is taking a proactive approach to 'forever chemicals.'

WVIA News' Roger DuPuis and Lydia McFarlane talk about SCI Waymart's program that trains inmates to work in facility's hospice care program.

Today, inmates care for other inmates at the end of their lives at SCI Waymart. And in Scranton, a new garden appeals to more senses than sight.

SCI Waymart is one of two Pennsylvania prisons with a personal care unit for inmates. As a result, its population is older than most of the Commonwealth’s prisons. Administrators recently revamped its hospice program, a volunteer-based program that allows inmates to get trained in hospice care for other inmates at the end of their lives.
