No index cards either, until the prison's tech offered to make them out of cardstock for her. Amy walks us through the process, then tells the story of Terry, an OCC student whose MAV Talks speech about Nebraska's "life-means-life" law she recorded because he couldn't be there to give it himself. Terry is incarcerated for life. The audience didn't know where the recording came from until it was over. Amy keeps coming back to a line of her own: "I feel like sometimes I get more than they do."
