The California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo hosted a family day for its employees. The Rock the Block party on July 31 included music, food, information booths and demonstrations.

Employees were encouraged to invite their families to tours of the California Men’s Colony East Facility, which also featured a bouncy castle, axe throwing and demonstrations from the facility’s fire station, which used real fire hoses to help families put out fake flames.
The prison’s Crisis Intervention Team provided a night vision demonstration. Dogs were a big hit, and families enjoyed demonstrations by the New Life K-9s and Investigative Services Unit. There were also various games and contests, a barbecue, popcorn and ice cream cones.
“This great event was enjoyed by all the families,” said the organizers. “Thank you to everyone who contributed.”
