On April 7th, our 86 Red team visited the High Point jail and took a "tour of reality" for about an hour. We saw where people are brought in to the jail after they have been arrested, where they were "booked" (finger printed, photographed, striped of their personal possessions and given the inmate's "orange" jump suites. We saw the different rooms and levels of incarceration in the jail. We saw the Security system that inmates face daily. And finally, we spoke with an inmate that is awaiting trial on a serious felony... he would not tell us what he was charged with. He has been waiting in jail for over a year to go to trial. The inmate also told us about his roommate had been sent to Raleigh's Central Prison just a few days ago. He plea bargained for "life in prison, without the possibility of parole." I suspected who it was (since it was in the High Point newspaper), but the inmate would not confirm it. I'm pretty sure it was the man who beat another young man to death with a baseball bat at a party...the young man who died was a former PSA soccer player. What a powerful statement for our team members. "On Friday, April 23rd, our PSA Stars 86 Red soccer team donated their time (about 2 hours) to serve the homeless of High Point at The Open Door Ministries' kitchen and dinning room. The U17 PSA premier team provided the food at a cost of $549.00. We feed 100 people that night and helped clean the kitchen and dinning areas to as the folks left. The night manager of the "Open Door" kitchen estimated that there was enough food to feed another 100 people for the next night too."   -Kim Setliff
