Individuals and communities are never static. Whether solo or in groups, people are dynamically shaped and molded through productive—or destructive—influences and interactions. And prisons are no different.
Tammy Franklin, Prison Fellowship Academy® program manager at Mabel Basset Correctional Center in Oklahoma, knows that many of the women she serves have doubts that they will be able to reenter society successfully after their time behind bars.
“Getting out of prison is not just a change of address,” Tammy explains. “It is entering into a world that [many prisoners] have never known. A world where responsibility, integrity, and community are expected and required to succeed.”
