In this episode, I explore the complexities of relationships involving incarcerated individuals. These connections, whether between two incarcerated people or with someone on the outside, present challenges. However, they can also enhance mental well-being, lower the likelihood of reoffending, and contribute to crime reduction. Establishing a pen pal relationship with someone in prison can foster a deeper comprehension of criminal motivations and affirm personal value. It's crucial for prison authorities to focus on healing addiction by addressing it as a health concern rather than a criminal act.
