SSET is a rehabilitation and re-entry approach, a path appropriate to follow for two culture spaces which are separate and warring to come together, and wanting now to be followed by both prisoners and staff in Jamaica's prisons, with full blessing of the administration, represented here by Richard Reese.

Program dedicated to the memory of Maurice Wittingham, with, we hope, other names to follow.

creation of a wireless projection and reception space throughout the prison system by using simple network and low power radio transmission

fill the space with true human story, developed through workshops on storytelling, recorded and digitally processed in our digital SSET learning labs

give persons something to listen to and think about to fill the space of their confinement

Ultimately the SSET approach extends to schools and communities

Immediately SSET will take a forward stepby bringing together the families of those who were lost in the shootings at GP on March 31, 2005.

Jamaica Voices

I will offer a distance program with focus on Jamaica prisons, with Kevin Wallen, leader of SSET, as head tutor. SSET is an inmate and staff organization, Students & Staff Expressing Truth, an outgrowth of Reverence for Life, the movement begun in the prisons by Desmond Green, with groups at South Camp, Tower Street and Fort Augusta. The mode of communication between me and the groups will be by any means cyberspace is capable of carrying message. I will pose questions in form designed to be engaging. Response will require expression and collaboration on production of a common product.

We will use computer labs in Jamaica's prisons, computers in the labs networked together (no internet) and connected to a good-sized hard drive, plus one cd/dvd burner/reader for each lab. Labs are equipped to allow them to function as text/audio/video production environments. Inputs to the environment will be radio, cd/dvd, tv, text. Group work enabled by collaborative software like wiki/h2o, each lab with a screen, lcd projector, with simple radio/camera covered space like Imus and Howard Stern.

SSET Workshops: Dawn Vaz on Recording Story; Ben Walker on Producing Audio for Public Radio; Kevin Wallen on Audio Editing; Dawn on Transcribing. Dave Franz on how to relate to Berklee School of Music. Objective to produce edited text and audio for deposit in a Global Voices Exchange and Library. A supply of Sony Walkman MZ-NF810 with Sony power mic.

Staff Workshops to focus on the Timeline of Jamaican Justice Project. This project will map and articulate the complete process of justice in Jamaica from the point of arrest through the point of release on parole. Led by DCS Commissioner Richard Reese, the project will lay a foundation for evaluating and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Jamaica's justice process. Done in cooperation with the Manley Law School, Jamaican Bar Association.
