A local correctional deputy gazed upon Humboldt’s beauty in a way he’d never previously been able to today thanks to a gift from some of his co-workers.

Share in Deputy Jeff Dishmon’s life-changing moment in the clip above and read his story courtesy the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office below:

Today Correctional Deputy and Sheriff’s SWAP Farm Manager Jeff Dishmon saw color for the first time.

Correctional Deputy Samantha Freese and Dishmon have worked together for eight years at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. Over the years the two have grown close, nicknaming each other “Grandpa” and “Granddaughter.”

Dishmon has been color blind his whole life, which has sometimes been a source of frustration for him and others around him. Freese and other correctional deputies pitched in to purchase enchroma glasses for Dishmon and presented them to him today at the Sheriff’s SWAP Farm. The results were incredible.
