From Prison Blues to Royal Blue Robes
[link removed]
“I’m not the same person I was a year ago. My motivation changed from a focus on myself to wanting to share with others what I’ve learned, even outside [the Academy].”
—Academy graduate
Squeals and shouts of excitement reverberated throughout the fluorescent-lit cellblock that houses programming at Minnesota Correctional Facility—Shakopee. It was the night before graduation for the 13 participants of the Prison Fellowship Academy(R) class 35, and they were receiving their royal blue graduation robes.
The Academy is a yearlong journey of transformation and healing that takes participants through biblically based curriculum with the help of compassionate coaches. The Academy launched at the Shakopee unit in 2007. At that time, it was the only women’s Academy offered by Prison Fellowship(R).
This was the first time since the program’s launch at Shakopee 16 years ago that the graduates would wear robes. It was also the first time some participants would ever don a cap and gown.
