Reformatory aid planned
A "People in Prisons" program,
sponsored by the Student Y, will begin
Saturday at the Nebraska Center for
Women in York. It will continue through
Nov. 22.
Kathy Smith, Student Y director, said
the program will provide Saturday after
noon activities for the residents. The
Student Y wanted to do a project with
people in prisons and the idea was develop
ed at the suggestion of a social woiker at
the center, she said.
Smith said the residents at the center do
not have organized social activities so the
goal of their program is to help the center's
residents develop social skills and structure
their leisure time so they can adjust
socially when they leave.
The program is not designed to teach
only crafts, Smith said, but to provide the
residents with social experiences and show
them the outside world cares. She said the
program also will give student volunteers
experiences with people that may be
applicable to careers and personal growth.
Interests categorized
The residents filled out questionnaires,
and their interests were categorized
music, dance, arts and crafts, creative
writing, drama and recreation.
Volunteers who have the skills and
ability to teach these activities were
selected to go to the center on Saturday
afternoons.- Smith said 20 students have
been chosen and more are needed. Three
groups of volunteers will go to the center,
each for three consecutive weeks, she said.
Staff members in York will provide orien
tation. 30 will participate
Smith said about 30 of the center's
50 residents will participate in the pro
gram. The rest are in maximum security
or have chosen not to participate, Smith
said.
Candy Marshall, a criminal justice
major, will organize the volunteers and
describe their jobs.
- A social worker at the center has
encouraged men to participate Smith said,
because the interaction will benefit the
residents. Interviews for volunteers are
being conducted through the Student Y
office, 345 NebraskaTJnion.
