i think that's a wonderful idea. would love to hear other groups experiences working with prisoners, parolees, DOC's, etc, and how we can get these folks back on their wheels.

can you talk more about how this works?  are people required by their
parole officers to attend training sessions once they've signed up for
them?  if they bail do you rat them out?  have there been other
difficulties?  did they initially approach you, or you them?  i've been
interested in something like this for our shop, but i'm also torn about it.
