I have always been a proponent that if the prison system, like the barbers and cosmetologist in there, would seriously enhance and train the incarcerated and then aid them in getting jobs....the prison population would be minimum. These are excellent drawings and should be shown for all to see....especially in the juvenile base industries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-32498059896102004232008-10-05T18:41:00.000-05:002008-10-05T18:41:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for publishing this article.

They provide all kinds of services for ex-offenders in this area. Recently, they produced an excellent play written, produced, and acted by ex-felons. The group is called the Miranda Writes Players and this year’s play was titled Trouble. You can read about it at:<BR/>http://www.fwweekly.com/content.asp?article=7171<BR/>It shows just how creative, talented and articulate ex-offenders, like the rest of us, can be.

I know in TYC some of the kids are just born with this god given talent. We try to encourage them on all the opportunities that are out there for them with this gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
