Today some researchers from SDSU visited the program. At the end of the day's lessons they asked us some questions. They're compiling data on the OMCP and following guys who've been through it. This is exciting to me. 

I know they're compiling data because the OMCP model works and it's attracting positive attention. Once they compile enough evidence to support this model, the funding and governmental support might show up to establish more OMCPs or similar evidence-based programs. It could change the way prisons are run. I'm living in a time of change and I'm watching it happen!

Had another exceptional week of OMC training. Learned about psychopathology—that's a big word—also learned a lot about childhood trauma, PTSD, and PICS. PICS is Post-Incarceration Syndrome.

Today was a remarkable day. The training was exciting. I learned how to do an interview. The feedback I received was helpful in so many ways. Also developing deeper friendships with some of the other guys who are in the training program.

Woke up late. Rushed to make it to breakfast. Saw a surprise on my tray: right there was a thick slice of cold cantaloupe. It was perfectly ripe and juicy. The meal got even better when two guys at my table offered me their slices of cantaloupe too. I hadn't eaten cantaloupe in 22 years. Can't wait to tell my mom— she loves cantaloupe.
