Yes, as you can see on my home page, I finally jumped into the social networking pool and started swimming! Amazingly, I didn’t sink to the bottom immediately, because a ton of time in “the joint” can turn your brain into mush. When I went in, facebook and twitter were non-existent! But I am determined to get the word out about not only the existence of GOODCONS but also their right to their pursuit of happiness as a functional and productive member of society in this country. I have not made my way into the deep water of public opinion yet. After all, I just learned to swim among the tweets. But I am athletic enough (I worked out like an animal in “the joint”!) and I am a quick study, so I will be going for the gold shortly (metaphorically speaking, of course!) But I can’t do it all myself. I need others to join in the effort. Justice reform, rehabilitation programs that are REAL and not just for political theater, training and education programs while inmates are incarcerated, REAL job placement when they are released, and FULL restoration of their rights as citizens once they have repaid their debt to society. We have a plateful, but we can affect change one bite at a time!

Thanks so much for doing this. This is a great site! I think you can reach many of the goodcons out there. This is exactly what they need-support and knowledge that they can have a great life if they choose to.
Hey Joyce, All it takes is the desire and maybe some fortitude, ’cause most people don’t want to jump into something until they see others do it. But I have the guts. I just need some fuel every once in a while! So tell some of your friends that the Commissary is open!! Thanks for the holler back!
