‘Give them a chance’: Prison ministry mentor helps woman, once in prison, make return to society
The only thing better than the birthday party that Anna Brown-Mitchell threw for Chanita Dawson is the gift she has given her. Chanita’s face glows as she shares her memories of her party on Sept. 18, 2016: how her birthday cake was huge, how a long table overflowed with all kinds of food, and how all the people there laughed, sang and enjoyed each other on a day that marked a life-changing time for her. After all, this was more than the celebration of her 38th birthday. It was also the celebration of her first birthday since she completed a nearly four-year sentence for committing a non‑violent, drug-related crime. For Chanita, the birthday party represented what she hoped would be a new beginning to her life. (Page 1)
