They’ve sang the song before, a haunting melody at best. Male inmates have often been victims of childhood sexual and physical abuse, which most likely was a contributing factor to their incarceration. I will be meeting with seventy inmates at the Shawnee Correctional Center on Friday, November 1, 2013 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. I intent to share my experiences of childhood sexual abuse, and explain how I have moved the horrific memories to mere recollections. (Well, most of the time.) I am hopeful that we can share a peaceful space in time with nothing but good vibrations filling an institution of pain. It is my hope, and perhaps my prayer. Wish me luck.
Good luck, Larry. I’m sure what you’re doing will change the lives of many.
Thank you, Sonya.
Thank you for doing such brave work. What you do not only brings healing to you, but to others as well.
Thank you, Martha. Your words mean a lot to me.
