A client today w/ 25 to life & only 3 years in thanked me for visiting & said I wish I could give you a hug & it just broke my heart in any other scenario I would have hugged him. Every human is deserving of humanity & I just wish we had a world where all people believed that.
I have an incarcerated client that is young twenties. I sent 5 stamped envelopes to return paperwork. He really put one piece of paper in each envelope 😂
It takes months after getting a board date to get an out date but finally tomorrow morning after being locked up as teen for over three decades… one of my clients is finally going to be free. ❤️❤️❤️
Happy world kindness day! Being kind changes not just someone else’s life it changes yours so in a world where you can be anything be kind ❤️ Welcome to RandomActsofKindness.org The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation randomactsofkindness.org/
Reminder this Veterans Day: While comprehensive data on the relationship between military service & incarceration is not available, one thing is clear -
The U.S. has left many veterans behind & does not provide enough support for one of the most vulnerable populations. 🧵
So much to say but instead I will just say that when doing this work retraumatizing people & not causing further harm is a must and those in power far too often keep listening to the loudest voices vs those silently doing the work day in and day out kvpr.org/government-politics…
❤️❤️❤️ Mitigation matters! Thank you...Your report was outstanding and thats what I know they went off because my psych report they barely touch on that briefly because the majority of the things it came from your report so yes you did SOMETHING great thank you sooooo much...
16… 3 decades… “ I was found suitable” it’s moments like this that fill my heart with such joy for my clients & their love ones. To anyone who has an incarcerated love one never give up hope!
Tomorrow an incarcerated individual with a life sentence due to enhancements gets to see & hug his mother for the first time in over two decades. It’s hard not to feel both sadness & happiness at the same time.
Not so fun fact: The most banned book in US prisons is… a cookbook😐
This week is Prison Banned Books Week – the system’s attack on books is sinister, to say the least, and emerging technology, like tablets, is not helping.
