Someone To Talk To

To Denham Sadler,

‍

I liked what you wrote in the December edition.

‍

Just a few things that we learned – male prisoners mostly have someone to write to or call. I’m supposing female prisoners have the same. But a person like me, I have a very hard time talking to someone, whether male or female, other than Mum and Dad and a mate that are all on the outside. They are fine to talk to but it would be nice to communicate with other lonely people locked up.

‍

I’d think there are a lot of inmates looking for someone to talk to, for some people it might help with the healing process.

‍

A well monitored program might be an idea but it would have to work Main to Main, Protection to Protection.

Homelessness, addiction, no family, turned right back to what got us here in the first place. I think this is a huge problem for especially young vulnerable women to have more support on release!

Over the past 5 years I have completed numerous courses and obtained tickets for forklift – working at heights, confined space, first aid, and test and tag.
