In October 2019, I attended the annual Parole Completion Celebration hosted by Hawaii Friends of Restorative Justice, an event that honors and congratulates those who have completed their parole sentence. I was in the middle of writing my Honors proposal for my research project on reentry resources on Oahu, and this was my first real interaction with this community. I was fortunate enough to share a little bit about my project with the attendees, and I was overwhelmed by the support I received and the number of people who wanted to be involved in the project or were eager to see the finished result. It was at this event that I made meaningful connections with so many amazing, dedicated individuals who work hard to help incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals with a variety of social and criminal justice issues, and I was honored to meet and hear the stories of those who had successfully completed their parole term.
