Once Trapped in a System, Now Useful in Society

Today’s conversation will explore what is lost when our criminal legal system emphasizes punishment over rehabilitation from three experts who have spent decades advocating for transformation inside prison. For years, our panelists led movements and changed lives despite being confined to a system intent upon burying them. In this discussion, they will reflect upon the challenges of organizing on the inside and how this compares to organizing in freedom. This session offers a first hand and up close perspective on breaking labels, redefining identity and living beyond limitations.
