The People Who Bring Joy to Those Behind Bars at Christmastime

Christmas was usually a good time for me, when I was in prison. One of the nicest things was getting packages from home. My mom, sister, or someone else would be able to send me a cake, candy, nuts and other goodies I couldn’t get during the rest of the year. Besides these packages we would also usually get a “Happy Sack” from the authorities. These would be grocery bags filled with various things that came from the inmate store and from donations.
