Program Description
Weekly workshops offer female inmates quality guidance in shaping their life stories into sustained narratives written to help a reader to care, resulting in dramatic increases in literacy and listening skills, self awareness, a new capacity for reflection and a new sense of possibility. With a six year track record in Riverhead and Yaphank Correctional Facilities, the program has substantially contributed to breaking through cycles of violence that affect one generation after another.
