Guyana teacher says Jones wasn't all bad
Sister Mary Justin, an Eastern Iowa native and former teacher at a Guyana Catholic mission school, says Jones and his followers did good by teaching better farming and skills. She recalls Mabaruma, Jonestown youth interactions, and a 1976 government tour order to show socialism's example, noting Guyana saw only a positive image of Jonestown.

Sister Mary Justin on Jonestown pupils and trials
The nun recalled Jonestown’s aims for ammunition skilled workers and money among 1200 residents including many with advanced degrees. She described grim control like signs of arrests, the fence around the settlement, and the deadly ambush at Port Kaituma. She praised Congressman Ryan as a martyr and said Jones ordered mass murder after learning some people fled.
