Link to Angela Patton's Talk: A father-daughter dance ... in prison

In Angela Patton’s talk, A father-daughter dance… in prison, Patton tells a lively story for her viewers. She explains how a father daughter dance in prison came to be. While Patton’s story is fascinating and engaging, her message is even more important: prisoners are still people and deserve to be treated fairly. Just because a man is in prison, doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve to have a relationship with his daughter or family. By creating a father daughter dance within prisons, the men and daughters were able to create bonds and memories that would otherwise not be possible. Patton’s story is a friendly reminder that we can all be doing things to help girls and families in the community… sometimes all it takes is listening to young girls and helping them develop their ideas.
What are some other things prisoners and families could do together while they are in jail? Have you heard of any unique concepts being implemented in various prisons?
