[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 737578, member: 18958"] I worked in prisons over many years. I felt great affection for many, and caring for almost all. Every bit of that feeling I found an appropriate way to manifest in kindness, support, and responsibility. The prisoners, many of them, make deep bonds with each other. They need each other. There is trust and confidence. They develop friendships, caring. They form familial relationships of a sort. They also bond together for protection and to get needs met. They make community. There are volunteers that come into prisons (in the USA) typically through church groups. They care. There is school. College. Work. AA. NA. Etc. Team sports. People bond this way. Some become writers or artists or business people (their gigs.) They make their identities that way. There is a common saying: man up It means more or less, grow a spine. Be a man. This is the upside of prison. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Take care. I think this can be harder on us. [/QUOTE]
