SUMMARY: Our speakers have the experience and the passion to help us look at some of the following: What are the needs of a person coming from prison back to the community? How can people in the community help in meeting these needs? How can we make communities safer places? How can we deal with fears? If prison is like a box, then can we think outside of the box at least part of the time?
CONSIDERATIONS: Lunch will be provided along with refreshment breaks. We ask outside participants for a donation at the door of $10.00 to help meet our expenses.
