Thursday Night Session

This was definitely an interesting experience. I would say eye opening is the true description. For this event, I had to read letters from prisoners and see if I could gather books relevant to their requests. Going into this, I had a negative view of prisoners, perhaps even subordinate. However, reading those letters was greatly humanizing; one prisoner even shared the same literature tastes as me. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about prisoners now because of trying to balance morality and humanity, but I can certainly say that my views are not the same as the ones I had before doing this event. Overall, I highly appreciated this event because it challenged my thoughts and allowed for a different view.

Helped package books

I got to spend my night helping those who can't help themselves. I also got to do it with one of my good friends. So it was a good night all-around

Helped package books to send to inmates.

Once I read a letter about an inmate looking for a book on sign language to speak to his newborn deaf nephew I knew I was doing the right thing in volunteering here

Packaged requested books to inmates from 7 PM to 11 PM.
