Show Details
Genres:
Exciting, informative, 28-minute ready-to-run TV series produced by The Fortune Society – and hosted by Khalil A. Cumberbatch, Associate VP of Fortune’s Policy Center -- that examines America’s Criminal Justice System and sparks a discussion about its impact and effects on communities.
Providing incarcerated people with a college education has equipped them with the critical thinking skills, political awareness, and advocacy tools that have increased their civic engagement post-incarceration.
Considering that Black and Brown people are disproportionately represented within the prison population, providing them with higher education has uniquely positioned them to challenge oppressive systems and drive policy change that benefit their communities.
This episode's guests are Dr. Robert Tynes, the director of college-in-prison operations at the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI), and Tammar Cancer, a formerly incarcerated man who earned a bachelor's degree in political science from BPI. He is the assistant to the executive director at the Center for Community Alternatives.
