Interesting: This is the program my friend at Grafton is hoping to be part of soon:
Recently, Coach Cullin had inmates from the Grafton Correctional Institution come and talk to students here at CHS. For many years now, Coach has coordinated it so that inmates come each trimester and try to influence students to make the right choices.
For most of the students, it is just a time to get out of class, but for others it is a great opportunity to learn from others’ mistakes.
The prisoners that came were from the “Dope is for Dopes” program and get no reward for coming and speaking. On this trip, there were two speakers both with very different stories.
The first speaker was serving a five-year prison sentence for producing methamphetamine. He had come from Akron, and had a very difficult childhood. When younger, his stepfather used to abuse him and his mother. His stepfather and mom were both drug and alcohol users, who had no intention of quitting.
