We attribute the decrease in cases at CCWF to the care people have given to each other inside. "Even knowing the risks of helping women in need, we gather and try to protect the vulnerable, the sick, or the ones whose rights are being violated by the facility. We set aside our differences and unite, as one we are a voice, as a group we are a herd that will be heard and won't go away until justice has prevailed."

thank you for sharing your testimony with us and being part of this space. we are holding you in our hearts. get well soon & stay strong. "I feel the world when I hear about groups of healers like you. What I feel is warmth and Love. I go through my days and don't hear much in the form of love. Yet, when I know that people are meeting to think about prisoners and our pain and suffering, I am inspired and motivated to smile, to spread the news, to help others reach for positive healthy change in their lives. I hear about people who comfort our families when they suffer for us and I hold on to hope. I know the world is not perfect, and I know that it's these imperfections and hardships that create the opportunities to witness true compassion and Love. Thank you."

I've spent 40 years teaching creative writing, doing poetry readings & talks, and healing circles in prisons, juveniles lockups, and jails. I miss the men, women, and youth I've worked with since the Pandemic has closed these institutions. But I send prayers and blessings. Another world is possible without mass incarceration and punishment! Honor Lives Lost for Day of the Dead; they are among the ancestors!

On June 19th, 1986 in Peru, 135 men of Lurigancho, 115 of El Fronton, and two women prisoners of Callao were killed. And many more were disappeared. The death tolls are less remembered than the heroic, fierce, and unrelenting resistance to the state-sponsored genocide carried out by the fascist Alan Garcia, thus for revolutionaries all over the world, June 19th became known and celebrated as the Day of Heroism.
