what's so 'curious' about that? perhaps you should consider being a bit more sensitive before making a stupid, ignorant comment like that - it seems classist. you have no idea WHY she's in prison - sure, maybe she did something bad, but maybe she didn't. Our justice system is not exactly pure and honest - people are incarcerated all the time for unlawful reasons (or circumstance - you really have no idea - she could be in jail for shooting her abusive husband - that happens all the time). this woman has, at least, made an attempt to turn her life around and do something good - which is the best possible thing that can happen to someone who goes to prison. ah well, i recently got out of jail, too - i was arrested for standing on a sidewalk (which hasn't ever been illegal before, as far as i know). wish i had been able to crochet the 40+ hours i was stuck in there.here's an idea for making it into the papers - reach really hard and try to think of something compassionate you could do - like, maybe, teach kids at risk or bored, lonely old people in a home how to crochet.
