Insights from Outside Prison: M.C. & J.R-H.
In our very first group at CCCF, one of our women (M.C.) knew she was leaving CCCF to finish up federal time somewhere in the US. She had no idea where she was being sent and she was sad, scared and I thought distracted during our group. On about week 8 of our program, she left, and we didn’t see her again. We didn’t know where she’d gone. I asked my supervisor where she was so I could send our newsletters, but they all came back.

Driving home from prison this afternoon I got a call from one of our graduates who had been released a few weeks ago. He said, I just had to call and tell you what happened today.
All ears, I listened to him share a really cool story.
Insights from Outside Prison: DB
I had a sweet encounter this week with one or our program participants who released from prison this year. He’s been doing well, despite having one of those Parole Officer’s who keeps a closer that usual eye, who won’t lift his curfew even though it’s months since his release. The PO is also suspicious that DB is doing so well, that he stays calm and polite whatever she throws at him. Still, he’s working his day job but also doing some really cool stuff on the side.
