Pleasant Valley State Prison – Coalinga California
I am a resident of Pleasant Valley State Prison, and we are hosting an event at the institution. We are in dire need of guest speakers who are willing to volunteer their time and attend and share their personal insight and experience in the following areas:
Violence Awareness. Someone personally impacted by violence or works with those who have suffered violence.
Domestic Violence. Someone personally impacted by domestic violence or works with those who have suffered domestic violence.
Victims Impact. Someone who has lost a loved one at the hands of either gun violence or domestic violence, who is now advocating for and promoting nonviolence.
Suicide Awareness. Someone who can share personal experience concerning, knowledge of or insight into suicide.
We hope to host this event in September, however, the process of getting guests cleared to enter the prison is something that we need to address as soon as possible. If you are in the California area or know of anyone in this location, please reach out and help us make this happen. The men at Pleasant Valley State Prison D-Facility have been on a mission to bring more awareness, healing, and intervention/prevention to these very real issues… WE NEED YOU!

Good Afternoon,
I have worked in mental health with victims of sexual and physical abuse. I myself have been incarcerated at the age of 17 for a violent crime and witnessed violence in my household growing up. I have also worked with men at Solano Prison as the Program Director of the ISUDT program. I would like to speak, what are the ideas around violence awareness? Stories I have heard, some personal things from me etc? I doubt that clearance would be an issue for me at the prison as I worked at Solano for almost 3 years.
Thanks,
Francis
I just sent you an email. Thanks!
I would be more than happy to share my experience in some of these areas.
Thank you,
Vanessa Rojas
