Goals
connections - create less isolation between people in our prison system and people not in our prison system
education - help people learn useful skills and knowledge
Personal statement: I'm hoping to make the world a safer and more positive place by helping a few people who are often ignored and may have valid reasons to feel angry about getting a raw deal in life and being treated unfairly . . . by proving, over time, that some people on the "outside" can connect to them and offer to help them in a very simple, old fashioned way, helping them learn something they want to learn . . . for no other purpose, no religious or other program agenda, than simply one human human being helping another human being learn something new and useful.
I started this program in the 1990s when I was working as a Senior Programmer for the Maine Legislature. Today, I make my living doing database design and reporting work and also, sometimes, game and educational product design.
