Description:
In today’s era of mass incarceration, extreme sentencing of youth, barriers to successful re-entry and other challenges in the justice system there is an emerging awareness that in order to foster meaningful change we must first learn from and utilize the unique insights of those directly impacted—or as Glenn E. Martin would put it, “those who are closest to the problem are those closest to the solutions”. Amplifying that awareness is a growing national movement of formerly incarcerated leaders who not only exemplify positive change in their own lives, but have also demonstrated the power to help change the narrative of those directly impacted and champion the cause of equal justice through innovative approaches to reform.
Listen to their stories, what brought them to this important work and what innovative approaches they are using to address the systemic failures that have hitherto perpetuated the cycles of incarceration and the unfair treatment of youth and adults in the American justice system.
