Obama’s Inspiration for Imprisoned People

We are providing a restorative justice facilitation skills and solution-focused problem solving training for a group of 20 incarcerated men at Waiawa Correctional Facility on O‘ahu.  A paper on this training program that we have now provided to five groups of incarcerated people, is available on my website under the Articles page and is titled A Gift of Listening for Hawai‘i Inmates.

Tonight we are going to share the following photo and last few paragraphs of newly elected President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech with the imprisoned men.  We think this photo of President Obama and the words he said can be inspiring to anyone anywhere including all confined people in the world and to people facing hardship:
