Advice/Thoughts On A Dllemna

[Thoreau]

I have volunteered for the Irish Council for Prisoners Overseas which supports Irish prisoners overseas in a Penfriend scheme. I have prepared my first draft for a prisoner accordingly, but was curious about the prison he was serving in, so I googled it and found out it is a prison for "sexual offences" which alters my perspective. A friend said I should hate the "sin" and not the "sinner" but I'm not sure if I should to go ahead or am I being a hypocrite for judging - any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated without condemnation for raising the issue. Thank you.
