Today at the breakfast table I heard two neighbors, Coach and Pablo, talking about another lifer we knew who paroled. Before he left, Roger had become part of the hospice program here at the prison. Seems he was the subject of an article they both had read recently.
I also knew Roger, so of course I wanted to read the article too. "Where was it published?" I asked them.
"It's in the New Times. A cover story," Pablo said. "Volume 28, issue 33, right on the cover."
Coach added, "You can borrow it from me. I have a copy in my cell."
"Thanks!" I said.
Coach gave me the article after we got off work. It talked about more than Roger. It covered the hospice care program Roger was part of, and the history of how it started, and the effect it has on the inmates who serve in the program, like Roger. It's an informative article. It shows a side of prison which doesn't often get seen in the media, so I recommend everyone read it.
