“Part of the Jaycee Creed reads that ‘service to humanity is the best work of life.’ It isn’t often that prison inmates are afforded the opportunity to pay it forward, be of service to others, think and act beyond the confines of razor-wire and cell blocks. Yet, this happens in the Character Building Unit, an unusual prison environment MacDougall Correctional Institution in the low country of South Carolina. Inmates sign a ‘social contract’ upon entering the program, committing to living the change they want in life daily while acting to have a positive influence on others who reside around them.” -Gary Farlow (a CLF member incarcerated in SC)
What would be in your “social contract” to build your character through service to others?
