This Dec. 7 photo shows some of the hats that inmates at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls have knitted. About 20 inmates at the state penitentiary learn to knit stocking caps throughout the year, and around Christmas, the hats are donated to local agencies to be used as Christmas gifts. More than 2,000 hats and 1,000 mittens are being distributed to different agencies across the state, along with more than 3,000 wooden toys made by inmates using scrap lumber from the prison shops.
