Happy Sunday! 🙏❤ Remember: God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:17

It is fascinating to look at the FCI Dublin abuse and corruption through the eyes of a 25-year employee who tried to stop it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=QdkvMw2FPR-izR4M&v=xWcrXKiVOi8&feature=youtu.be

Happy Sunday! 🙏❤ "And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!" Matthew 6: 28-30

It's really nice closing my eyes and envisioning every cell and every building at FCI Dublin being vacant. I like to walk around there in my mind. Feels good.

ICYMI, I served 78 days in federal prison for J6 misdemeanors. I am 56 and have no criminal record. The prison I was in, FCI Dublin, was just shut down due to staff corruption and unsafe conditions. It now sits empty. I'm feeling reflective, so I wanted to share a story: The prison phones were disabled each night. They turned back on at 6AM. Every morning at 5:50AM, my first cell mate's alarm would awaken me. At exactly 6AM, she was on the phone calling her ill mom in WV. Her mom is her best friend. They shared their lives with each other the best they could under the circumstances. She never missed a day. Our cell was near the phone, so like it or not, I overheard their conversations every morning - their laughter, their arguments, their stories, their tears, all of it. It was real and raw and beautiful. I couldn't help but hear so many inmates' "private" conversations because my cell was near the phone. I was there for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. So many raw moments. I used to say things about inmates like, "They earned this" (not knowing what "this" was), and "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." I didn't understand that by saying and believing these things so unquestioningly, I was viewing inmates as "others." I didn't see them as individuals with lives and relationships, dreams and fears, hopes and regrets. I didn't realize I was further dehumanizing them by "othering" them. Then I was one of them. And for the first time in my life, I truly saw them. I hope that this post can maybe help you see them, too.

FCI Dublin Prison Closure Update: The prison is now empty. All of the women have been transferred or released. Thank you to those who prayed for them. I really appreciate your prayers! https://www.ktvu.com/news/fci-dublin-cleared-out-no-women-left-in-prison

Happy Sunday! 🙏❤️ I hope you unplugged and spent time enjoying the gifts God gave us.

The women at FCI Dublin were sexually abused by prison staff for years. Now they are being retaliated against and blamed for the prison being shut down. https://www.ktvu.com/news/fci-dublin-prison-closure-women-describe-horrific-journey-across-u-s

Happy Sunday! Make time to unplug and enjoy the gifts God has given us. 🙏❤
