The group Just Detention has a program, Words of Hope, to deliver holiday greetings to individuals who have survived SA in prison. Incarceration can be a profoundly lonely experience. By sending a letter, you can remind someone that they are not alone. justdetention.org/writewordsof...
Share your Words of Hope!
I just sent a warm holiday greeting to survivors of prisoner rape. Will you join me and Just Detention International in sending peace and light their way?
