ADC Raises $5,669 for Locks of Love On April 24, Perryville inmates showed up in large numbers at their respective units to donate hair and money to help make custom-fitted hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss. At the day’s end, hundreds of inmates and staff donated 122 feet of hair and $5,669. All the proceeds from the event went to Locks of Love, a national non-profit organization that helps children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. “I am proud of staff’s efforts to create opportunities for inmates to give to others in need,” Department Director Dora Schriro said. “The inmate population also stepped up and is making a contribution. Their teamwork with community-based organizations like Locks of Love is outstanding.” For 12 hours, 25 hairdressers from Rumors Hair Salon of Scottsdale and Visable Changes Haircutters, Main Attraction, Scooter’s Hair Design and Profiles, all of Phoenix, volunteered their time to cut the hair of inmates.
