there are at least 4 guys in my groups that are very possible going to be realeased this year. what makes it interesting is that they are are 'lifers', given a...
Wade that is a very unique situation. I am almost at a total loss here, I mean the most I did was 5 years and I had some Pagan training on the outside. How...
exactly, i have no idea what they will be needed as far as reculterization to the outside in general and to 'mainstream' paganism in particular. most are...
well if there is a way I can help or be a mentor or even a pen-pal let me know. I feel I can help people getting out because I was inside myself. Are there any...
another thought did occur to me right after I sent the last post. What are the available options for Deeply Rooted or Circle? Is the anything that they have as...
MM All, Following the post that have been sent recently about the lifers being paroled I find myself feeling the way the other Mike feels. I do know the...
I know Circle has a few people going into prisons but I'm not sure if there is anything in the realm of outreach. That would be a question for Windwalker. I...
And, my other question has to do with some of the rules that we talked about DR membership. What kind of crimes was this person convicted of? How many Pagan...
Any offender being released or still in the inside is welcome to write to me at our Temple, and I will try to help them in any way that I can. Before or after...
Yes, there are others of us that have been down before. Some of us are just watching and waiting to see what we're needed to help with. The group doesn't seem ...
Circle Sanctuary doesn't currently have an outreach program for this sort of situation. Wade, I'd like your permission to forward your original message about...
Marie & others, I am still on your band wagon, Marie. Feel free to smile all you want. I've done plenty of shit that I'm sure you could get a chuckle out of....
Here are a couple of really good programs that may have prison outreach components. A friend mentioned these to me when I was discussing this issue with him....
Want him around? I don't think the crime matters as far a church membership. Maybe living within intentional communities but to deny a person's right of...
Okay, here are my feelings, and I have to state them ... I'll bet there are more than a few people on this list who were "grated" by Tonya's comment saying...
Hi All, While I agree with Your statment of How Tonya, worded some things really badly, I must say Lady Marie, You"re a bit Heavy handed on the Grated issue....
Here is my focus on helping pagan prisoners - I and my Temple have always been concerned with pagan prisoners and worked to help guide them on the various...
Maybe I worded that strongly...I don't know. Or maybe I'm just jaded by my current dealings with people with a criminal background..... I didn't mean it to...
Whoah! Did it just get warm in here or what?? (~grabs fire retardant drawers~) Be judged by the measure that you judge others I guess. I appreciate your...
I think that the original question was lost in the chatter that my poorly worded (SORRY!) comments created. The question is, and I believe a very valid...
Tonya, I have been reading along. Listening to what you say. What I continue to hear is that not everyone should get a second chance. Or more like that they...
Mike, I'm glad to have your candor, and that you seem to get it, well at least partly. ;)~ I do love a rousing discussion! You are right in saying that I have...
Okay, I apologized for any offense that the intensity of my previous message may have caused for you Tonya - but nothing I said was "downright mean". Believe...
Wade?? I have a couple of questions ... As a volunteer within the DOC, are you "allowed" to have personal contact with Parolees or people who have just...
I am pretty sure that the rule on ex inmates is that volunteers can not have contact with people that they worked with in the prison system, but that if they...
In one of your posts, Tonya, you asked "What system is in place to offer ... sanctuary, but not at the expense of the rest?" Well, I can only speak for my own...
