A care home resident has been taken to the local prison in the state of New York, as part of her 104th birthday wish.
Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in Geneseo, about 29 miles (46km) south of Rochester, posted pictures showing Loretta visiting their facility.
“Loretta, who is a resident at the Avon Nursing Home, was asked what she wanted for her birthday and her response was that she wanted to see the inside of our jail because she has never been to jail before,” the police department wrote in a post on Facebook.
“Loretta had a great time touring our jail facility and we are so glad that we were able to make her birthday wishes come true!” it added.
