We love the work you are doing, and appreciate the insights into the experiences of offenders in Jamaica. Given the ongoing crime problem, reform must be stressed. Through programs like this one, properly documented, perhaps we can even change minds in the United States about the potential for reform there as well. M.D.

This is a fantastic outlet for these individuals to use their time and energies to make a positive impact, not only by educating the world ‘on the outside’ of the reality of life behind bars and its population, but also by expressing themselves in a raw and often cathartic manner. It affords us a humane look into a world that many of us know little about, but hold many assumptions on. Looking forward to the start of the blog.

Each time you hear or read from this project grants, you can expect a little of heroism and a lot of humanism. The S.E.T. community is doing a lot of both and now that we know more from them and the amazing work they ve done for these prisoners.
They can be sure that they will be listened on their ways to freedom, these big brothers and sisters to the Rising Voices bloggers are going to teach us more than survival lessons, life lessons.
