Quite a learning experience up at the prison yesterday… I was able to go on the rounds and visit the men that are locked up in solitary confinement (a very different feel from the rest of the camp). They are isolated for 23 hours a day, and then put in cages for an hour a day for exercise. Then I witnessed a fight in the cafeteria right before I taught my class there (too close for comfort). All in all, a very real reminder of the reality of where those men live and what they face on a daily basis… I am more resolved than ever to better learn how to help them and to try somehow to make a difference in that place— God is the only answer.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
