Along with the good they are doing for charitable, causes. I agree, have found some scary, folks that have made some poor choices big o softys when given simple courtesy and respect.
Keep up the good works !! :)

I've worked with non violent, made stupid mistake prisoners before that had a second chance on work release programs, but I'd never associate or acknowledge ones ones that has left someone a victim. To me that is a slap in the face to the innocent. You certainly put a lot of dedication into this project.

If they do continue to quilt when they get out, I hope they don't run into the Quilting Police.
Seriously, what a wonderful project. Kudos to the governor of the prison for introducing and keeping alive such a great project, and to all the staff who work on it. Many years ago, I worked with a group of women prisoners to make a panel for the AIDS Quilt. Having something to do and to think about other than prison life was seen as a positive thing.

Our facility is only for men. We are located in the very SE corner of NM. The only women's facility is up in the NW corner of the state & it's a state owned facility. I don't know if they have anything like this, but you'd think if they did, the word would eventually make it down here.☺
