(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) \u2014 The El Paso County Sheriff\u2019s Office (EPSO) announced on Thursday, Nov. 20, that the El Paso County Jail will hold its first-ever Incarcerated Citizens Mural Competition.<\/p>\n

According to EPSO, incarcerated citizens at the El Paso County Jail have teamed up to design and draw original murals inside the facility. The Sheriff\u2019s Office said the initiative encourages positive, safe behavior, reduces incidents involving the use of force, and gives those in custody the chance to channel their energy and talent into creating something meaningful instead of vandalizing the jail building.<\/p>\n

The competition\u2019s theme was \u201cPatriotism and Veterans Day.\u201d The public is encouraged to vote on their favorite mural by voting through EPSO\u2019s survey page<\/a>. Voting opened Thursday and runs through Sunday, Nov. 23.<\/p>\n
