If they do continue to quilt when they get out, I hope they don't run into the Quilting Police.

Seriously, what a wonderful project. Kudos to the governor of the prison for introducing and keeping alive such a great project, and to all the staff who work on it. Many years ago, I worked with a group of women prisoners to make a panel for the AIDS Quilt. Having something to do and to think about other than prison life was seen as a positive thing.
This is a link to a program that ran in a prison down here:
