Q: I’D LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT NEW DIRECTIONS A: New Directions is located in the 4800 block of Germantown Avenue. It’s an alternative to prison for women coming out of prison. It’s like a transitional home. It holds about 25 women in the facility and right now we have 18. And we have a beautiful director, who’s Carolyn Stewart who helps us out. And there’s women there for all different kinds of reasons- for drug abuse, domestic violence and we get help in each area, whatever we come in there for. I’ve been there now for about seven months and it helped me. It completely changed my life. And it’s a great opportunity for anyone coming out of prison and wanting to change their life, to go back to school or to get a job, whatever, and I love it."
