Yeah.
You know, I had the great privilege of being part of the Restorative Justice Program at San Quentin Prison.
And I went in, and that's a remarkable program that's built on the idea of moral beauty,
you know, all humans have goodness within them that they can find with the right guidance and practice, even if they've perpetrated harms and the like.
And so I go in and give a talk
And I think every American should go into an American prison and just to see that part of our state.
And it's astonishing.
You don't have the wonders of life readily available.
Solitary confinement, which I've worked on is horrific.
It's a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
So I go in, I'm giving a talk.
In this program, there are 180 prisoners.
All of them work out a lot.
I was the smallest person in that building, and they would have twisted me up like a pretzel.
And they are working hard.
And in the middle of my talk, I was like, I have to do this.
And I said, what brings you awe in San Quentin?
And there's this quiet and then the answers came pouring forth and it was my grandchild learning how to read, getting my college diploma, the Quran, meditating.
My celly.
My celly.
