Testimonials

 “Thank you for this amazing opportunity. I am so proud of this life changing experience. The women are all equally looking forward to learning all we can and that's the main concept of Paulo Freire's desire for us marginalized folks to learn about ourselves in order to see our disparities on its face and make the necessary push to liberate and decarcerate. The root cause”

 "It is important for them to hear us. They only see the top of things but we see the reality of this place .I have so many ideas and we shall all want to invest in the youth. We must stop the pattern of destruction. My hope is that one day this beast no longer rules the lives of so many."

"I enjoyed reading about our prison system and the little amount of rehabilitative help our institutions offer us. I also enjoyed reading about our collective decision making. This has helped me a great deal because I often feel misunderstood when I'm trying to bring up my ideas and I feel like my voice isn't being heard. This reading is going to help encourage me to speak up even more, all of our opinions deserve to be heard."
