“For twelve months I took a risk with my Partners Ashley and Danielle and they took a risk with me. We built trust by being honest with each other. I shared every part of my life with them, my offense, my family life, and they shared with me too. They helped me prepare my parole packet, and we talked a lot about what responsibility and accountability looks like. My Partners attended my parole hearing, and even though they could not sit next to me, I felt their presence. I brought to the hearing all that I had learned and all of the insight I had gained.”
