An email from a local citizen caused an abrupt change to a longstanding practice of the Mobile County Work Release program this week.

Pictures sent to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Department and several media outlets show county inmates cutting the grass at the privately owned George U. Potter Mason lodge on McDonald Road in Theodore July 23.
