I thought I was late to the party, and I am. It's good to see, though, that I'm not that late. I really enjoy reading about this project. (I work in a violence intervention program, primarily DV, though my work happens outside incarceration.) I know from my work how experiences like this can make great changes for people, helping them become non-violent, more empathetic, etc. Thank you for doing this and for writing about it.
P.S.
This post was worth reading for this line alone, "Cue my boyfriend and I attempting to break into my car with a butter knife so that I could go to prison." Fantastic.
Hey! Thank you so much for stopping by, glad it was an interesting read for you and interesting to know you’re working in an arena that is similar! I just started this project, really, so I’ll be writing about it quite a bit over the next few months. Looking forward to chatting more! :) Also..yes..the butter knife line. When tragedy is comedy, haha.
