MIAMI — Female inmates at a Miami prison got flowers as a Mother's Day gift, courtesy of a local florist who says he was helping "where it's needed most."
Although the 63 prisoners would still be behind bars Sunday, on Friday they gathered in the chapel of Miami-Dade's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, clutching bouquets of flowers and fighting back tears, The Miami Herald reported.
Miami wholesale florist Bill Armellini arranged the pre-Mother's Day flower giveaway.
"I'm not a complicated guy,'' Armellini, a father of two, said."I just think help or charity should be given where it's needed most.''
Inmates spoke of being touched by the gesture.
