No More Jail Classes?

I was sad when my writing classes at the Richmond City Jail were canceled last March. Back then, I was naive enough to think the hiatus would last a few weeks. It’s become obvious that classes won’t resume for many months, probably not this year . . . maybe never. That makes me sad. The inmates in my class were serious about improving their writing, and I miss our weekly interactions. 

When my writing classes at the Richmond City Jail were canceled back in March due to the pandemic, I naively thought the delay would be for just a few weeks. Now I realize it may be permanent. I miss my classes and my students--all inmates who were serious about improving their writing. I wish I thought classes could resume in 2021, but I am beginning to fear the stoppage may be permanent.
