Walter Lomax, released from Maryland prison system about 8 years ago, continued his fight to prove his innocence. The 6pm news today showed a triumphant Walter at the courthouse step, finally vindicated. Walter was one of the inmates who worked with me on the Family Literacy Program where prisoners read to their children. I remembered my blog post when I first saw him on the street in 2008.
Waiting to Hear Barak Obama
Congratulations to Walter
Prison librarians provide information that meets the information, recreational, lifelong learning, and transitional needs of prisoners, preparing them to be successful ex offenders.
