Prison Inmates Save 3 Boys From Drowning

When three brothers fell into Salmon Creek in southwest Washington, inmates working nearby dove into the freezing water to save them Wednesday afternoon, The Columbian reports.

"Just cause we're incarcerated, doesn't mean we're bad people. We made some bad choices in our lives, but we're still, we're just like everybody else. We're just paying our debt for what we did wrong," Jon Fowler, 28, one of the inmates, told KPTV.

Fowler was part of a 10-person work crew from the prison doing supervised maintenance at a nearby park, the Columbian reports.
