Kindness does not stop at the fences of prison
Joyce Hanna
Joyce Hanna, Library Associate at Airway Heights Corrections Center, received a phone call from an inmate’s mother this week thanking her for helping her son. She did not give his name because he is still at AHCC and she did not want to cause any problems for him. Joyce reports that “I explained that I was only doing my job and she told me that her son said that I did it with kindness and care which he does not get a lot of in prison. It brought tears to my eyes. I thanked her.”
Joyce says that it is moments like this that make everything she goes through worth it. She realizes that even the small things can be important in prison.
