Staff Testimonials
The challenges of doing deep emotional work with men in an institutional environment are formidable. Nonetheless, we are receiving far more from the men inside than we can ever give. Here is a sampling of comments from our staff that reflect the gifts we have all received from this giveaway:
-All I truly have in my life is time and my legacy will be how I use that time. Prison time is helping me make the choices that affirm the Spirit in Life. -I've seen many men cry, touch each other, share from the gut and the heart. To witness men inside prison opening in these ways, despite the harsh training to say closed and tough... has brought me a hope and joy for the goodness and resilience in men - and for the safety and sanity of the world I live in.



-I figure if what we do as free men doesn't work here, we are kidding ourselves. It is working. These men deserve to reclaim their humanity, passion, respect, emotions - everything - as much as any of us. -Walking into a prison, hearing the doors clang shut, sitting with a bunch of convicts... I looked into the mirror of those men's eyes... the rage, victim, and the perpetrator all there before me... in me...


-I'm most moved, not by the impact I've had on any of the men, but the impact they've had on me. I'm a better father, husband, citizen, human being, because of what I've learned from these men and the stories of their lives.
