Review for Wings For LIFE International, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Wings is an inspiration to all who attend. Everyone who attends Wings for LIFE learns lifeskills through training in meeting people and talking to them about common subjects that they would be intrested in.
They learn to set banquet tables for 100 PEOPLE. This way they can wait tables as a job to make a living while they go to school.
The staff are caring and that is felt by all that they serve at the Monday night dinner or meeting their loved ones in prison for family days. Education for families is of the utmost importance for success.
I am a member of the Wings team and I believe that this program is a preventative way to stop the children of prisoners from following in the families footsteps into the corrections. It costs 173,000 per year to house a juvenile inmate. Whereas it pays only 8,000 to send a child to school. About 76 per cent of children who are in juvenile detention centers will go to prison.
I was nominated and received the volunteer of the year award for the city of Albuquerque. This is a true psssion for myself and the other dedicated people who work for Wings for LIFE.
DO WE WANT A HIGH INCARCERATION RATE OR PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS WHO DO NOT WANT TO STAY OUT OF PRISONS
