A Washington suburb is putting jail inmates to work.
Prisoners in Fairfax County, Virginia, can volunteer for outdoor labor.
The inmates do things like mowing grass, removing snow and painting over graffiti.
There are no chains, or prison stripes, either.
The inmates look like ordinary landscapers in their gray and orange uniforms.
But a clue to their status is an armed deputy nearby.
The prisoners get five days off their sentences for every 30 days of work.
