Most of us drive by the DeSoto Correctional Institution, with its rings of cyclone fencing crowned with concertina wire, and are thankful not to be inside those perimeters. But many don’t know what goes on past those formidable gates.
DCI invited community representatives inside its normally locked gates Thursday to learn about its operations.
