I have a daughter in prison. I have already written an intel on Qondio.com about this and although writing it was painful, I was truthful about my feelings about the whole matter and I feel better getting it out in the open. The reason I'm writing this intel is because people need to know about the prison release program. I'm not going into great detail, don't worry, it isn't going to bore you.
I HATE drug addiction and everything about it. I hate what it makes you do and where it leads, but unfortunately there are hundreds of people in the same situation as my daughter and fortunately she is blessed with a wonderful Mom, (Me!), and she is coming home to live soon and we are going to do everything in our power to get her to art school in Pittsburgh, a lifelong dream of hers. But there are inmates released out there that have no where to go, and no one that cares. People don't use drugs with the intention of becoming addicts, they don't have a goal in life to end up in trouble and they don't set out to commit crimes and end up in jail. I think it's just easier for some courts to incarcerate them and 'get them out of their hair.'
So this is about helping people. We need changes in this world and Oprah can't do it alone. We all need to help people. Make a change, make a difference, help someone you don't even know. I have sent clothing, that I purchased myself at Goodwill and yard sales, to these halfway houses and to released inmates that my daughter met in prison. I have sent stationary, stamps, puzzle books and numerous other things. You clean out your closet on occasion don't you? Donate the clothing to a good cause, not just Goodwill either. If there is a halfway house in your area, call them and find out if they take clothing donations. If there is a drug rehab center call them, too. If you're an avid yard- saler, spend an extra $10.00 and buy shoes and clothing that you can donate.
Please help these people and give them a second chance. These 'criminals' are mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters, neighbors, co-workers and friends. Most of them really do want a second chance but the prisons send them to these facilities and many times they have nothing but the clothing on their backs. The system is failing these people and many times they end up back in prison because they can't find work to support themselves. Give them some dignity, give them a chance.
