Prison, A Wife’s Devotion, Redemption and Art with Coffee; what more could you ask for?

I ran across and article in the Tallahassee Democrat (Tallahassee.com) written by Desiree Pulley regarding Issac and Betty Williams need for donations to show art from an unlikely source, behind bars. This article originally caught my attention because of a quote that has a creative solution to an artistic problem.

These artists get creative. “One guy was drawing and he ran out of brown," Betty said, "so he used coffee grounds."

My interest continued because of the true message of the article. Issac and Betty need help to display art created by inmates Issac got to know while he was one of them. Yes, he was in prison, repaid his debt to society, and has now started Love N. FL. Inc, an organization to minister to prison inmates. Part of their plan is to unveil artwork created by inmates.

This is a truly remarkable story of love and devotion. Betty waited 8 Years for her husband; they have adopted a child and are giving back to society. Issac attributes all of his recent good fortune to his wife of 17 years. Issac believes in second chances and wants to share this with others. The immediate need is to frame the artwork ($100 each) so they are looking for donations.
