Everyone wants a fresh start. That’s why we come up with New Year’s resolutions—commitments to leave behind our old ways and begin a new chapter. That’s no less true for people in prison.
A couple years ago, a former prisoner asked his buddies on the inside what New Year’s resolutions they planned to make.
“I want to eat only health food … to be as healthy as possible when I go home,” said one. Another man wanted to get his estranged family back together, and yet another wanted to tap into his true potential.
Good resolutions—but for all of us, resolutions are easier to make than keep.
