RelayNet (tm) Channel List
Conference Coordinator - Garry Baker, Node ID ->BLAKGOLD #1279
August 1, 1996
This is a complete listing of all RIME conferences, listed in order by
"NUMBER," the international conference (or channel) number. Your local
board may not assign the same numbers to these conferences, and it may
not carry every one. If a conference below interests you and can't be
found on your local board, ask your Sysop if it can be made available.
The listing below also indicates if a conference is shared with other
networks. Note that those shared networks may not have "Private" or
"Receiver Only" message capability. Ask the Conference Host if those
capabilities are available to the shared network.
The "FOCUS" line indicates the general area of interest for the conference.
Conferences which share the same "FOCUS" would be similar; for example,
all political discussion conferences have the same "social.political"
"FOCUS."
The message traffic rating, or "ACTIVITY," is based on the latest message
traffic measurement at the NetHub. Message volume may fluctuate at times.
Here is what the various "ACTIVITY" levels mean:
ACTIVITY MESSAGES PER DAY
light 1-10
moderate 11-30
high 30-60
high+ 61 and above

Description: As crime increases more and more prisons are
being built to house inmates who were previously
allowed probation. Estimates run as high as
one out of every three persons becoming involved
with the penal system in some way *other* than
as inmate. Friends and family members, wishing
to be of support to the person going through
the criminal justice system, get caught up in
its procedures; they are thrown into the world
of penology by just VISITING, which can sometimes
be mortifying, embarrassing or cruel. This will
be a support conference to compare notes, to
tell of experiences (good or bad), to share
the special anxieties of this unique but increasingly
common bond. No one has to reveal who 'their
inmate' is, or the relationship. That's not
important here. And OUTING (revealing who ANOTHER's
inmate is) is completely forbidden; this is
nobody's business. What is important is that
each participant come away with the knowledge
that they are not alone in what they are experiencing.
