Testimonial from Women who honors Inmates with Blue Ribbons
“I help do groups for women inside Lancaster County Prison. I give each woman a blue ribbon, basically following the (Blue Ribbon Ceremony) steps - though I do not try to attach the Blue Ribbon to their prison garb. It has sometimes been very emotional. Once after I gave out 2 or 3, one of the women asked me if she could give a blue ribbon. So I handed her one and she turned to one of the other inmates and began to repeat what I had just said about how the other inmate was making a difference and being a helper. They both began to cry as they exchanged the ribbon. Then another woman asked if she too could give one. She gave it to the prison counselor and honored her and expressed appreciation for how (the counselor) was helping them and making a difference. They all applauded her and her eyes filled with tears. The women inmates very often say no one has ever told them they matter before.”
