Michelle Inderbitzin, Associate Professor of Sociology at Oregon State University, stopped by HOME recently to deliver a check and some other donations from her class Inside Out. Inside Out is comprised of a number of OSU students who meet at the Oregon State Penitentiary with an equal number of inmates. The goal of Inside Out at OSU is to exchange ideas and perceptions and gain a deeper knowledge of crime, the criminal justice system, corrections, and imprisonment.
Ms Inderbitzin noted that, “The students chose to focus on HOME again in my fall class, with the inside students collecting cash donations from the inmates in the penitentiary, and the outside students also coming up with a few fun donations for HOME.”
These pictures show HOME representatives Shain Olson and Peggy Kahan with a generous check from the inmates and holding the XBOX game system and games which were donated by one of Michelle’s students.
Incidentally, the inmates at OSP have been generous contributors to HOME for several years. More than most organizations, they can appreciate the preventive benefits which HOME provides to at-risk and homeless teens. We feel fortunate to have such consistent support.
