Prison was a life changing experience

The New Amsterdam Prison

Come January, it will be six years since the Women’s Chronicles column became a reality and to be honest I was not sure it would have made it this far. Over those years week after week I have chronicled various experiences of many sisters, most of them unfortunately sad.

Today I want to re-print one of my favourites thus far because of how this sister used an unfortunate experience to turn her life around. I have remained in contact with her (one of the few) and while life has not been peaches and roses, I am happy to report the positive trajectory of her life following this experience has continued.

Below she chronicles being imprisoned.
