Set free by prisoners
AS TOLD TO BC PIRES
My name is Debbie Jacob and BC Pires insists I am his Person of the Year 2020, because, he says, my prison work has done so much practical good for so many who need it so much.
I can’t sleep if I start thinking about how easy it is to end up in prison in this country.
And then spending ten–12 years waiting for your trial. That terrifies me.
In prison, I experienced gratitude, loyalty and love on a level I did not know existed, just from simple kindness. And a willingness to overcome the prejudice that define us on both sides of the tracks.
