Pages: 14 pages
Text (TR_WF): A Lesson in Language Incarceration has forced me to postpone my plans of travelling to the continents of Europe and Asia.

Text (TR_WF): A.V.P. How can violence be reduced in prison? Well, in my own opinion, the answer is simple: support the "Alternative to Violence Project!" This program, started by Quaker's back in the late 1970's right here at Green Haven Correctional Facility, is one which is now being used to combat the spread and use of violence all over the world. The Alternative to Violence Project (from this point on, to be referred to as A.V.P.) is an interactive workshop, that gives insight to it...

Text (O): Prison, Re-entry, Reintegration and the 'Star Gate': The Experience of Prison Release Jeffrey Bliss Many people are asking 'why do ex-offenders continue to re-offend or violate the conditions of their release supervisions usually within a 90 day period after release?'
