Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry recently received the 2016 PALS Governor's Award for helping reduce litter on the roads in Cullman County.
Cullman County Sheriff's Office deputies and inmates helped remove, as of the award date, more than 5,500 lbs. of trash from the roads of Cullman County.
"This is truly a team award for all the deputies and personnel who worked hard to clean up our county. I really believe it's better to have these non-violent inmates cleaning our roads than just sitting in jail," said Sheriff Matt Gentry.
