Hi my name is Karen but everybody has always called me Kari…..if you are calling me Karen I know I’m probably in trouble lol…..I’ve been in prison for 4 years now…..I never thought I could make it this long ……I was definitely over sentenced…. I got into a fight with another girl …..she got a black eye …..I got a 12 year sentence…… there are people in here with less time for taking some ones life or hurting a child ……but in many ways prison has been good for me….I’m in a routine now and have made the choice to work on myself…..I attend Celebrate Recovery ,A.A …Maintaining Recovery Group , Catholic Services ,I’m a bee keeper …I try to stay really busy….I’m sure most people have no idea what prison is really about …..it a world all unto its self ….it doesn’t work …..prison just creates more criminals ……I pray that Americans see mass incarnation doesn’t work ……I just hope to leave prison with with a sense of direction and more common sense than I came in with ……I hope you will contact me at

I agree with you, Karen- prison aint working. I want to keep bees one day!! Great skill to have.
Agreed! Keeping bees huh? That’s different. All my husband is allowed to do is clean, day in day out, cleaning. But he’s a bit OCD so it works for him! Best wishes!
Thank you for sharing. I am also Karen 🙂 I shared my Celebrate Recovery testimony today and I posted my testimony on my blog today
