Hello my name is Michelle Smith-Velez:
When I was attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice, I was sent to the Bayview Correctional Facility in NYC to do a college internship with South Forty Corp. There I met a wonderful woman named Loretta Brown who taught me a tremendous amount about this population and how to serve their needs. I will never forget my experiences will all types of women who were hopeful for a better future. This experience changed me forever.
