“To accept one’s past – one’s history – is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.” Happy Birthday, James Baldwin (1924-1987)

Diamund is a survivor of assault, but locking her attacker away didn’t feel like it would solve anything. Diamund knew the impact that incarceration could have on someone’s life and they didn’t want that for the person who assaulted them.
