Earlier in life, I said many times, ‘If I didn’t have to spend so much time making a living, I’d spend it helping people.’ When I made that statement it never occurred to me that a prison sentence would meet that objective. So for the past two decades, I’ve helped fellow inmates in myriad ways—from writing letters to their families to explaining how to find the area of a circle so they could pass GED tests, to, sometimes, just listening to what they have to say. -John, a member of CLF incarcerated in Oklahoma who died in 2020
What would you dedicated your life to if you didn’t have to spend so much time making a living?
