A couple of people sent me this article about Knitting Behind Bars, a program that teaches knitting to prison inmates. Pretty interesting....the program attributes huge changes in behavior to knitting.
My friend's aunt works with a group of crocheters at a Tennessee women's prison. I just packaged up a box of yarn to send them. Would be cool to learn about the people using my yarn (and also write a paper on the connections between knitting and the law).
V-Day (the organizers of The Vagina Monologues) did a writing project with women inmates to allow people to hear these women's stories. They created a collection of monologue of the women's stories called "Anyone of Us." They also created a documentary about the writing workshop called "What I Want My Word To Do To You." Here's the trailer:
All of this is to say, I guess, that interesting things going on in prisons.
