“Where there is life there is hope,” reads the message at the top of the mural, whose audience is primarily inmates inside the Whitley County Detention Center.
Mural with a message: Inmate Brandon McCullah (third from left) was the primary artist who painted this mural inside the Whitley County Detention Center. The mural is a joint project between the detention center and the Whitley County Health Department, and promotes getting HIV testing, a national suicide prevention hot line and the use of naloxone to reverse the effects of an overdose.
