My Interview with Prison Activist/Advocate and AC Content Producer, Dee

A couple months ago, after having many debates on prison issues, Dee and I agreed to interview each other. Dee lived up to her end of the bargain, and she published an interview with me, allowing me to give my views within the confines of her questions. I now have the time to reciprocate and pose some questions of my own. In the spirit of Quid Pro Quo, I will allow her the opportunity to speak within the confines of my questions.

First of all, I would like to thank you Dee for giving me the opportunity to speak earlier this year. I would also like to thank you for your time in answering some questions of my own. I would also like to tell you that this is the first interview that I have ever done. So, please be patient with me.

Dee, would you give our readers a brief biography of yourself, including your level of education, class status, region that you reside in, and anything else you would like to add?

I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I have an Associates Degree in Biology. I have worked several different types of jobs in my life including animal care, farm work, factory, office, sales, and bar tending. I read tarot cards, and I am a self taught astrologer. I have a Reki Masters degree, which is a healing art.

I have many interests, book collecting, selling vintage clothes on eBay, reading and freelance writing. I am in the process of writing a Memoirs book. I have 2 children, 5 Grandchildren, and a large family.

I am founder of The Abolishment Movement, an educational death penalty site. I write to many inmates throughout the US. I am a prison rights advocate, and advocate for the death row inmates. Many really are innocent. http://abolishmentmovement.freeforums.org

Dee, it has become obvious to me, and anyone who knows you, that your are very passionate in your work for Inmate Advocacy, Death Penalty Abolishment, and Prison Reform. It would seem to me that there must be a very personal reason for your fervor. A person doesn't just start speaking out about issues like this for no reason. What are your reasons?
