They're often forgotten around the holidays, but a "secret Santa" made sure inmates at one area jail knew someone cared about them this Christmas.

The Navarro County Sheriff's Office delivered around 250 gift packages to men and women incarcerated at the justice center Tuesday.

"With my approval, Detention Officers of the NCSO delivered the gift packages to every inmate within the facility, so that they could experience the true meaning of Christmas," said Sheriff Elmer Tanner.

Tanner said the packages were prepared and delivered by the Salvation Army after being dropped off by an anonymous donor.

They included a variety of simple items like sweets, fruit, toiletries, socks, etc.
