[Fredslist] Corey Bearak AWARD

[Adrian Walter-Ginzburg]

What a story!  As a relatively new member of Gotham, I am continually astonished by the breadth of expertise, volunteerism, and simple "human kindness" found in the network.  

I'm honored to be part of this group.

I have been fortunate to be involved in using my experience to help remedy some injustices. The justice system doesn't often fix it's mistakes, certainly not on a human and personal level. Tomorrow about 2pm I expect a man who left society as a boy to be released after being in one of this country's toughest prisons for 22 years. He is a man by age, but has no life experience. I needed help for him to start to build a life in a society completely alien to all he knows.
