I have been out of town since Sunday afternoon for business. I was originally supposed to visit one of my facilities (prisons) in the Southwest but the plan was changed at the last minute. Instead I went to my 'home away from home' in rural Mississippi. I have a facility there that I have been to 7 or 8 times which is A LOT considering how many facilities I have to work with on a regular basis. I met 4 government officials from Mexico in MS (can you say culture shock??) so that we could all work with the staff and inmates for a Mexican Education Program we have implemented.
As you can imagine, the staff from Mexico arrived just in time to be screened at the airport for the Swine Flu. Germ X is illegal (due to alcohol content) in the facilities so we washed our hands a TON. I think I washed my hands 13-14 times a day while in the facility. We worked for about 10 hours a day together in two classrooms. They were great but EVERYONE was a bit apprehensive about catching the swine flu. Personally, I am not into the hype the media is trying so hard to suck us all into. Just use common sense!!!
Anyway, these are some photos from the area I was in this past week. The area is home of the Blues and also Morgan Freeman! You all know I love history and though I would never want to live in MS, this area has a certain charm to it.
