On a bright, chilly day in February of 2020, award winning film producer Fritzi Horstman and crew began work on a beautiful and heartbreaking PSA series, the first of which was titled Step Inside the Circle.\u00a0 This short film gave viewers an unprecedented look at the lives and childhood experiences of 235 brave, traumatized and incarcerated men.\u00a0 One of those men was Villond Cook.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Fast forward to several months later.\u00a0 It\u2019s Tuesday morning and the staff, volunteers and I at Compassion Prison Project greet each other as we do each week, with faces popping up, filling our computer screens like a modern-day tribute to The Brady Bunch.\u00a0 On this particular Tuesday, we meet some of the newest volunteers at CPP.\u00a0 The new members of our team, who were formerly incarcerated, join us from locations across the country. Among them is Villond; a soft-spoken gentleman with gracious manners and an unassuming demeanor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

A few days pass and I email Villond to ask, on behalf of CPP, if we might interview him.\u00a0 I explain that we\u2019d like to share more first-hand experience stories like his own on our website and social media platforms.\u00a0 He is quick to respond and politely replies that he feels honored to help.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

At 51 years old, Villond, having recently finished serving a 32-year sentence at Lancaster State Prison in California, says that being incarcerated allowed him to grow into the person he is today.\u00a0 He recalls that he made a few friends along the way who became like extended family, which he points out is common with lengthy incarcerations.\u00a0 When asked if he experienced mistreatment by the staff of the prison, his answer is brief and to the point\u2026 \u201cYes, I was mistreated by staff and officers, more than I can recall.\u201d<\/p>

Because COVID restrictions keep us from sitting down together to talk in person, Villond agrees to email me his answers to the questions posed by Compassion Prison Project.\u00a0 As I sign off from my computer, I find myself wondering if he\u2019s aware of what a gift he and his fellow volunteers are to the CPP Community.\u00a0 By offering his time, sharing his perspective and reflecting on over three decades in the prison system, Villond can teach us a lot.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What was your experience like with the filming of Step Inside the Circle?<\/strong><\/h6>

\u201cMy experience with Step Inside the Circle was truly amazing and a true eye opener.\u00a0 That day allowed me to fully understand just how many people were and are still traumatized by our past childhood experiences.\u00a0 How our traumas played a very important role as to how distorted our past choices (were) which put so many children into these modern-day concentration camps.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

How did being incarcerated change you?<\/strong><\/h6>

\u201cBeing incarcerated allowed me to grow into the person that I am today.\u00a0 I was extremely selfish.\u00a0 I once hated other humans.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t love myself.\u00a0 Prison allowed me to understand what true insight really means.\u00a0 My choices, decisions and every action I played affected so many other people who were connected to me in some type of way.\u00a0 Today I\u2019m an adult that understands what being a grownup means.\u00a0 I\u2019m a responsible person, I enjoy the simplest things in life.\u00a0 Prison in other words allowed me to appreciate the little things in life that so many of us take advantage of. But, the most valuable lesson of all, and what I truly learned from being in prison\u2026was that freedom is a gift, physical freedom is not a given, but it must be respected and honored. Once my physical freedom was taken away from me\u2026 I became lost in an abyss of pure nothingness\u2026 in other words\u2026 I did the time\u2026 the time didn\u2019t do me.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

Does one moment stand out amongst the others from your time in prison?<\/strong><\/h6>

\u201cThe one moment that stood out of every situation while I was in prison was the moment that I realized that I needed to change my whole distorted way of thinking.\u00a0 That\u2019s when I walked away from gangs and any other distraction that would keep me in prison. Anyone within my immediate circle had to have freedom on their minds also\u2026 if they didn\u2019t, I walked away from those individuals too.\u201d<\/i><\/p>

Can you tell us about G.O.G.I. (the Going Out by Going In program)<\/strong><\/h6>

\u201cIt\u2019s a twelve-week class given by an inmate facilitator who teaches the class on several topics. Conflict resolution skills, communication and non-violent tactics. Boss of My Brain is a lesson on how humans have what we call a five second light switch\u2026 meaning in any given moment in life it only takes five seconds to respond to a situation on whether the outcome will lead to violence or lead to a calming dialogue.\u00a0 I learned how to rationalize the outcome of any situation.\u00a0 What we put into our brains\/minds will dictate the ending results. If we want to see positive results, we have to keep positive people within our circle. The class also taught me how to eradicate negative thoughts and replace those thoughts with positive actions.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>

Do you have any advice for young people who find themselves dealing with ACE (adverse childhood experiences) trauma at home?<\/strong><\/h6>

\u201cI would advise any youth who may be going through trauma to always find someone to talk to\u2026 don\u2019t hold in that negative energy, and most of all, never feel shame for whatever may have happened.\u00a0 You are not to blame nor are you at fault for being traumatized.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
