I agree to the class commitments.
Kelvin: How did you avoid being influenced by your family?
Kelvin: When you went to the Idlewood Avenue saw people there had an extravagant lifestyles, why did you “Never said to myself, yeah, I got to live that and have those things”? Did’t you feel unbalanced?
Kelvin: You love your family, and you are also optimistic about your life, have you ever want to bring your family a different life?
David Coogan: While writing the book “Writing our way out”, what does it brought you?
(for writers) How has participating in this writing program helped you in your life later away from the jail? Do you look back on previous experiences with different feelings or perspectives after writing them down?
(for David Coogan) Is there any texts in this book that you specifically kept or modified?
(Kelvin or Terrance) “In many states, up to 80 percent of the youth who are incarcerated are rearrested within 3 years of release” (CSG Justice Center). What are two pieces of advice you would give to a juvenile?
(Dr. Coogan) It’s discussed in the book that many ex-convicts are stigmatized and very disadvantaged when it comes to being employed. How do you look to change the narrative through these writing workshops?
I agree to the class commitments.

(For Coogan) What about the project would you do differently if you were to start from the beginning, before you’ve met any of the writers, given the insight you have now?
(For Kelvin or Terrence) How did your viewpoint/attitude on the project as a whole change as you went through it? Did you expect to get a lot out of it personally or really make an impact before you got into it?
