Questions for Cathy – Stories from Angola
Is Angola different from other prisons?
There is no other prison or place or community like it on Earth. it is the best place to learn about every issue of corrections. The whole place is inspiring – from the natural beauty to the thoughtfulness of inmates and staff. The ability to go there and to see what for many years was a huge secret and mystery makes the place an odd destination but a true life changing experience for many. Over 6,000 people – most in for life – many, many stories here!!
How has media exposure affected Angola?
Positively! It has educated people on serious issues and concerns. It has raised awareness and corrected false information on emergency and routine issues. Its brought attention to what works and what doesn’t. Its given a voice and face to those impacted by crime including victims and their families. We have established great international, national and state and local relationships with media and other agencies and these experiences have led to positive programs that make bad situations better.
