An Inuk man at the Labrador Correctional Center wasn't allowed to attend his father's funeral in person. Now he's pushing for more cultural sensitivity in the correctional system.

After a report in 2011 report on disparities in Hawaii's criminal justice system, that state has been working on ways to provide more equitable treatment of Native Hawaiians and other people of color. Those include inmate education efforts, cultural outreach, and programs to help inmates re-enter society. As they wait for a pending update to that initial report, organizers of those initiatives say they are making strides in improving the statistics while making their communities safer.

Today Mark is being interviewed by his friend, Paige Norton, so that you can get to know him, his background, and how he got into this space of working with felons and the criminal justice system. He started out his career as a basketball coach, but after a turn of events, he was reassigned to be working in a prison. Mark assumed the inmates were being helped and that there were good systems in place to help rehabilitate these individuals to get back on their feet and into society, but things in prison at the time weren't like this at all. Join Mark and Paige today to find out how he was able to become a part of the correctional system and make some big changes, helping a lot of felons change and be better prepared for life. “I have always believed that people are inherently good, and if given opportunity and choice, at some point in their life when they come to themselves and realize that they're on a bad path and there's another way to live, they will choose the other way. I've seen that countless times.” 33:25Who Mark was prior to his “prison sentence” 1:30Going to Prison 7:00When education started really changing 18:15Learning people's backstory 24:25They learn how to be criminals 30:40“All My Friends Are Felons” book 37:00“The system is not helping people. The system is very twisted. I'm not saying it's corrupt or that it's bad, as a matter of fact most of the correctional officers I worked with are really good people. A lot of them are in my community and I've coached a lot of ‘em in basketball, so they're good people, but the system is not set up to do what we think as regular citizens that it's supposed to do at all.” 22:20

The Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program at the county jail in Chesterfield, VA is a beacon of hope and light in the world. The program is designed to help inmates who are struggling with issues of addiction to heal and recover so that when they are released, they are able to live healthier and happier lives. One of the many tools taught in the program is Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT), which is a version of tapping created by the Peaceful Heart Network. As part of this year's 24 Hours of Tapping event we were lucky enough to have a conversation with Kerri Rhodes who works full time in the HARP Program, as well as hearing from one of the jail deputies and a number of the inmates. They share their stories of how they learned tapping, how it has helped them, and how they have shared it with the other people in their lives. This conversation will not only touch your heart, but it will inspire you to tap more and to share tapping with others. It was such an honor to have this conversation and I highly recommend that you check it out right now! Support the podcast!

Canada's justice and correctional system facing criticism. From the Myles Sanderson murders in Saskatchewan and the fact an RCMP apprehension unit wasn't searching for Sanderson who with a long and violent criminal record was unlawfully at large beginning May of this year. - The sister of a murder victim who posted a photograph of the murderer who breached parole on social media was told by Correctional Service Canada to take down the photo. - Eustachio Gallese of Quebec who killed his wife in 2004 by beating her with a hammer before repeatedly stabbing her was sentenced to life in prison. After 15 years the convicted killer was paroled and ordered not to engage in relationships with women, although the board granted Gallese access to sex workers. A 22 year old Quebec City woman paid with her life for that decision as Gallese was charged with her murder. - There's also the issue of statutory release and what that really means.

Former Alberta crown attorney, also former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister of Public Safety and executive director of the Canadian Police Association.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When you’re 64 and you’ve spent half your life incarcerated. Where can you call home That was the question posed by Capital Daily reporter Anna J. James earlier this week in an article she penned after spending a year following Richard Higgins, a 64-year-old man who has spent 32 years in the correctional system.  In the article, Anna goes into detail about how Richard was navigating the tortuous path toward finding stable housing, from a halfway house to a squalid apartment to a dangerous roommate and back again.  Higgins has lived through some of the worst of what Victoria's notoriously challenging housing market has to offer, and James's empathetic feature revealed what housing is available to people with barriers—and what they need to overcome to put a roof over their heads. Host Ben Waterworth talks to Anna more about her incredible article and learns more stories from the incredibly interesting story Richard has to tell.

Alleyne & Co. LLC understands how challenging it can be to work in the correctional environment, having worked in the environment for almost two decades. Adding COVID-19 to the equation makes it substantially difficult. Our mission is to serve as a resource to civilian employees by providing them with the crucial skills and insights needed for a successful and safe career in the Correctional System. Enhancing professionalism in Corrections; prisons, jails, detention and community services is an added bonus. In this time of prison reform, Alleyne & Co. LLC endeavors to positively influence the mindset of the people who will work directly with the offender population; that impact will go far beyond those who participate in training. This hybrid model of training is a much needed departure from how they have always done it. This training is for civilians by a civilian and not by an officer who lacks the soft skills and ability to relate to the civilian experience.

Amy Heimerl is a wife, mom, grandma, educator, gardener, aspiring artist & author, prayer warrior, worship leader and most importantly, daughter of God. Amy has been an educator for 26 years. Twenty-three of those years have been focused on working with students who have emotional and behavioral struggles and students who learn differently. From 1997-2004 she was a special education teacher at a juvenile correctional facility in Northern Wisconsin. From the moment she began teaching there, Amy knew it was part of her calling. After seven years, Amy made the very difficult decision to leave the youth prison so she could spend summers taking care of her own children. Amy was blessed with the opportunity to teach at her local high school as a special education teacher and employment coach. Amy was also blessed to get involved with Link Crew and as a coach for The Boomerang Project. After thirteen years in public education and her own children graduated, Amy felt the call to return to the youth prison and has been back since July 2017. Amy also is in the process of Reading for Orders in preparation for the priesthood in the Episcopal Church.

JAIL is a result, event-driven, choice involved, power stripping, a visible shift. However, within the jail cell inside each inmate is the power of transformation. Transformation is process-driven, choice involved and resides internally. Opportunities, Alternatives & Resources, (OAR) is missioned to rebuild lives and create a safer community with opportunities, alternatives, and resources for justice-involved individuals and their families. OAR is a local non-profit restorative justice organization providing human services since 1971. Its history has its roots in the highest principles of human rights, and the most practical applications of a community’s enlightened self-interest and citizen action. Its origins can be traced to a 1968 prison strike at the State Penitentiary in Richmond, Virginia. In response, several local churches convened a conference on Churches and the Correctional System. Following that effort, Jay Worrall, Jr. founded the OAR movement, which at the time stood for Offender Aid and Restoration. It was his vision of citizen visitors helping jail inmates that formed the original premise for the creation of OAR organizations around the country. My conversation with Brandon Cosby, Director of Development at OAR is story-rich, informative, and hopeful. He answers questions you may not have known to ask about this space and its residents. You will want to know more.

It’s no secret…when people pull together for a common cause or goal the results can improve your health. Many years ago I worked in the Correctional System with young offenders. To provide the custodial care and therapeutic treatment to help these young people improve their lives post incarceration, collaboration was key, and it actually had a ripple effect. Not only was the young offender better served, the impacts rippled over to the youth’s family. Fast forward several years when I worked in the health care system, on a psychiatry unit. The level of collaboration within the health care system, inclusion of alternative health and wellness services, the family, school and other key players in the patient’s life helped ensure the best care possible. When I opened my business I made collaboration one of the foundations upon which my business was built. I collaborate on many projects, one being the Global Influence Summit (GIS). The Global Influence Summit brings together transformational leaders and experts who want to up level their business and turn their impact into action, and, who are interested in collaborating to make a positive difference in the world. Henry Ford said “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” Collaboration makes tough projects easier. It reduces the isolation that often happens for people in business, and, collaboration (when done right) can reduce stress. There are many examples worldwide of projects that have improved the lives and help of individuals and communities through collaboration. Effective collaborations require trust, clear communication, agreement on the project and direction (the common goal), and, commitment. When these qualities exist in a collaboration, the results and impact can be life (and health) changing. Here’s a few helpful tips: 1) Choose your partners/collaborators carefully, b) Map out the details of the collaboration, 3) Build the relationship and 4) Deal with issues as they arise to the project is not de-railed. Charmaine Hammond, Teresa de Grosbois and Joseph Ranseth have collaborated to host the Global Influence Summit in Florida February 8-10, 2017. www.globalinfluencesummit.com The Global Influence Summit is a perfect example of collaboration, and offers training on how to collaborate to turn impact into action. As you step into 2017 make collaboration a priority and foundation for your business success model, and for making the difference you want to make on the planet. air date 2/3/17
