I would like to invite those who might be interested to consider biweekly visitations to the Monroe Prison. This is an opportunity to visit with inmates who get no visitors and are also in a unit for those with mental issues. What on the surface may seem somewhat daunting has become for me an extremely rewarding experience. I feel as though I am really making a difference in this individual's life. We visit every other Friday, usually meeting in Monroe around 11:15 am at a diner so our visitation group can connect and prepare for the visit. Then we go to the Monroe Correctional Complex to visit in the Special Offender Unit. We meet with one inmate at 1 pm and another at 2 pm. We leave the unit at 3 pm.

This is not a toe dip into a volunteer position. This is a deep dive into a meaningful justice commitment. If you are interested, please email Christine Hanson or call 509-679-7430. -Christine Hanson
