Top: On a sunny Christmas day, an inmate work crew was bused from a nearby prison to help clean off the Coney Island boardwalk, which had been covered in sand after beach flooding. Below: Young Thai monks, as part of their daily practice, sweep their temple yard free of fallen leaves.
Wow, I thought one was not allowed to photograph the convicted. No? Sweeping is restorative unless it involves a ton of sand. I hope the women were compensated for their labor.

It'a a gentle reminder of the small tasks we all take for granted, and should appreciate more. Thanks for the photos.
