Prisoner-Chefs

By Vittles

Nancy Gould’s food service course is one of the most popular within the North Carolina State Prison system, but will her class be able to pull off a fine dinning experience for 60 volunteer patrons behind the gates of Orange Correctional Center? The five-month course is administered by Piedmont Community College and graduating inmates earn 16 credits toward a degree if they can stand the heat.

Cook School is a Greenhouse Film made by the Vittles team: D.L. Anderson, Mikel Barton, and Brooke Darrah Shuman.
