Inmates at the state prison in Dallas, paid as little as 19 cents an hour for their work, have raised over $1600 to help the neediest victims of the September 11 attacks.
"We wanted to show we're human" said Michael Moore, who's serving a 19-years-to-life sentence for his part in a robbery that turned deadly. "We wanted to show we still care."
With some giving as little as 50 cents and one giving $100, approximately 950 inmates, roughtly half of the prison's population, donated to the funds.
