Question

【题目】Dearborn Heights,Michigan—2.7 million children under 18 have a parent in prison,and women put in local prisons are the fastest growing population.Shawna Reynolds has seen some of those women up close while working in the corrections system(劳教所) for 17 years,and she was encouraged to try something different.

After seven years of education and collecting as much money as she could,Shawna created About Face Course Correction-a one-year rehabilitation program(康复项目) that offers a more personal way to help non-violent women prisoners.The program includes classes for women to finish their education, find a job and So on.“You can’t expect people who have been in prison to stay in prison,”Shawna says.“YOU want them to be helpful people but if you are not going to help them, it’s not going to happen.”

The women live free for a year in a house in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.Women like 20-year-old Jennifer Douglas, who dropped out of school,took drugs (吸毒)，and has spent years in and out of prison. She says,“I was doing things I would never have thought I would do in my whole life.Because of About Face, Jennifer’s life is changing. “Everyone is starting to trust me again and proud of me and what I’m doing,” she says. “ It’s helped me a lot.It has kept me on the right track.”

There are many other women like Jennifer. Every woman’s story is different,but each woman is important.And Shawna is determined to break the cycle and help them turn their lives around.She is using her own money and donations to pay for the house and this program.If you would like to donate, please visit their Go Fund Me account here.
