As of December 26, 2005 I returned to work at the prison’s E-North cell block. This is where the Intermediate Care Program is located and houses the men who have special needs, to include a variety of issues each may be dealing with that calls for extra attention from the facility’s Mental Health staff, and from me in my assigned role as an "Inmate Program Aide."
I am thankful to be back working in E-North. These men are very special and, as I have written many times in my journal, I sense a special calling to be among these guys as a helper, and friend, and as someone who will listen when they speak.
In this environment where cold-heartedness and aloofness is commonplace, having someone who genuinely cares is rare. So I bow my heart in gratitude that I have found enough favor with the facility’s staff to be allowed to work where I do. They have instilled a great deal of trust in me, and I pray I will never disappoint them.
Meanwhile, after two weeks being in the ICP Unit in the afternoons, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to pray with some of the inmates. I have been able to read the Bible to them as well as give assistance where needed.
