I have been a facilitator with the Alternatives to Violence Project for just over a year. I go with another facilitator into a nearby prison and do a three day intensive workshop with inmates to get them thinking about their lives and how they can easily make their lives less violent. Some are amazing and really ready to change. All those attending are doing so voluntarily, so if they don't like it they can go back to what they are usually doing. We can only do workshops on weekends as they can't miss their routines Monday through Thursday. I created a web site for the Mid Missouri Alternatives to Violence Project Council and that's why I'm blogging now. I want to link this blog to the Mid MO AVP website.:
