- "real time drama"
- give released prisoners a mobile phone w Twitter & publicize the opportunity to "follow" them
- let supporters follow their lives and encourage them w tweets
- like The Truman Show
- run several simultaneously to offset risk of any singular failure
- key: SELECTION of prisoners. Do best we can to select those who are most trustworthy.
Risk: We aren't intermediaries --> ex-offenders going direct to supporters. We lose control.
- And...? Yes, there will be those who fail or embarrass us, but this is authenticity. This is letting the supporter see the real challenges and cheer for their beneficiary.
- Some will criticize the ex-offender, even brutally. How much more powerful, though, the resulting grace by the prisoner and defense by his fellow believers?
- But are we willing to take the risks necessary to grow? Or not?
We've talked about how great a reality TV show would be. Well, that opportunity isn't there for us at this moment. But this one IS. And it's dirt...***cheap!***
