Coming Home

Alan Prendergast has done it again, he has the ongoing story of Casey Holden on Westword's Blog. We'll be able to follow Casey has he tries to navigate the system and make a life for himself. He's been locked up for nearly 10 years, since he was only 16. The last four years of that time has been in a 23-hour a day Maximum Security prison cell. He's never had a job, or paid bills or done anything that adults have learned to do during their formative years. He was released to a parking lot with a check for a $100. So much for re-entry services. Our deepest thanks go out to Alan and this excellent story.
