Freedom Fighters

Last night at the prison I held what we called our first "Freedom Fighter Think Tank" as myself and a dozen inmates met in a small room for about two hours. We openly discussed our Dream: to reduce violence in the prison and bring about a much better quality of life for the general population. We talked about obstacles, opportunities, threats and real life issues at Hays. These young men committed themselves to truly making a difference... We spoke of the "Bloods and Crips" rivalry and subsequent truce in LA in the 90's; but most of all we discussed Dr. King's Dream and what the early Freedom Fighters' meetings and commitment must have looked and felt like. I'm very excited about the potential of non-violence through these bright, courageous young men... Stay tuned.
