Bobby Bostic, Missouri man released from prison after 27 years, Retired Judge Evelyn Baker who sentenced Bobby and James Ingram, Employment/Placement Coordinator and Prisoner Reentry join Carol and Tom in studio talking about Bostic's story and what he has done since being released from prison last year.  

We all deserve a second chance. But what if you never got a first? Victor Dickson leads the Safer Foundation, which supports the social and economic reintegration of formerly incarcerated people. The Foundation's diverse services, including workforce development and mental health counseling, help people who are held back by violence, substance abuse, and poverty build the habits of happy and prosocial life. In this episode, I talk with Victor about the barriers and solutions to prisoner reentry and about the role models that supported him in his own professional journey.

Welcome back to part II in our series with Jon Sharp.

Meg welcomes her former student, Jon Sharp to the NJ Criminal Podcast to discuss prisoner reentry.

Where do prisoners go when released? How can policy create a better framework and process to prevent a quick return to incarceration? How can policy humanize the incarcerated while upholding standards of justice? Few people are more qualified to answer such questions than Jeremy Travis. To kick off our Hardly Working March miniseries for Criminal Justice Reform Month, Brent and Travis dive deep into the past, present and future of re-entry and criminal justice reform. Travis' wealth of experience in legal aid, at NYPD, clerking for future Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and his multiple contributions in criminal justice research brought forth seminal re-entry texts like But They All Come Back: Facing Challenges of Prisoner Re-entry that changed the way we look crime, criminal behavior, and the justice system.

While there may be relatively few underlying concepts that liberals and conservatives might agree upon related to the justice system, perhaps one of them could be that justice should be parsimonious – defined as the government being authorized to exercise the lightest intrusion possible on a person's liberty that is necessary to achieve a legitimate social purpose. In this light, maybe there could be broad agreement that, for example, excessively long sentences for relatively minor crimes might fail this test.In this episode of Shades of Freedom, guests Daryl Atkinson (of Forward Justice) and Jeremy Travis (of Arnold Ventures) join us to discuss the new Square One Project report, The Power of Parsimony. If you are concerned about overincarceration, sentencing reform, and our culture of punishment - as meted out by the justice system, and in the added punishments which follow incarceration - this is the podcast for you.Guest BiographiesDaryl V. Atkinson is the Co-Director and Co-Founder of Forward Justice, a nonpartisan law, policy, and strategy center in North Carolina dedicated to advancing racial, social, and economic justice in the U.S. South. He also serves as a member of the steering committee for the Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People & Families Movement, a national network of civil and human rights organizations led by directly impacted individuals committed to seeing the end of mass incarceration, America's current racial and economic caste system. Prior to joining Forward Justice, Daryl served as the first Second Chance Fellow for U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). While at DOJ, Daryl was an advisor to the Second Chance portfolio of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a member of the Federal Interagency Reentry Council, and a conduit to the broader justice-involved population to ensure the DOJ heard from all stakeholders when developing reentry policy. Daryl previously served as the Senior Staff Attorney at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice (SCSJ), where he focused on drug policy and criminal justice reform issues, particularly removing the legal barriers triggered by contact with the criminal justice system. In 2014, Daryl was recognized by the White House as a “Reentry and Employment Champion of Change” for his extraordinary work to facilitate employment opportunities for people with criminal records. Daryl received a B.A. in Political Science from Benedict College, Columbia, SC and his J.D. from the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Minneapolis, MN.Jeremy Travis joined Arnold Ventures after serving for 13 years as president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York (CUNY).

Right now, 48,000 American kids are locked up in correctional facilities. Once upon a time, Elisabeth Ocampo was one of those kids. Today, she fights for the very thing that was taken away from each one of them: an education. To learn more about Elisabeth's work, please check out Project Rebound.

Locked in a cycle of incarceration since age 14, Jemal Taylor had every reason to become a cynic. But he instead learned to read the Qur’an and reconnect with his Muslim faith. His religiosity inspired him to help people who, much like him, suffered immeasurably for circumstances outside their control.

With less than 5 percent of the planet’s population, the United States houses 22 percent of the world’s prisoners. The challenges of navigating that system don’t end when the convicted felon completes his or her sentence.  Keesha Middlemass shines a light on the substantial barriers felons face when they try to reenter society.  She’s Keesha Middlemass this week on Story in the Public Square. Dr. Middlemass is a political science professor at Howard University.  She teaches courses in public policy and American Politics, and conducts research on race, institutions, public policy, and marginalized populations, focussing specifically on studying prisoner reentry, the politics of punishment, and racial justice. Her book, “Convicted & Condemned: The Politics and Policies of Prisoner Reentry” examines the public policies that create perverted incentives for men and women convicted of a felony and attempting to reenter society.

Brent Orrell sat down with Dirk van Velzen of the Prison Scholar Fund to discuss his work on criminal justice reform at The American Enterprise Institute. We discuss topics such as personal agency, the stress experienced by corrections officers, restoring Pell grants for prisoners, and the importance of human flourishing. Brent Orrell believes that “government is a reflection of who we are as people”, so join us for a conversation on how we can shape the criminal justice system to better reflect our values as a people and nation.

SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2019 MOMENTUM CENTER FOR SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT. 714 COLUMBUS. GRAND HAVEN MICHIGAN 49417- LOOK FOR THE BIG BLUE BUILDING

Discussions about criminal justice reform often center around the record size US prison population and the over representation of people of color in prison. Rarely do we have conversations about the inevitable release of incarcerated individuals and how their release impacts the receiving community. Today, we tackle this discussion with Professor Anthony C. Thompson, author of Releasing Prisoners, Redeeming Communities: Reentry, Race, and Politics. We begin by defining reentry (24:40) and discussing the importance of thinking carefully about individuals’ reentry experiences (26:39). We then discuss how race and gender shape reentry experiences (28:52) as well as how reentry impacts housing (39:14), healthcare (47:11), and political participation (50:56). We also have a conversation about the parole process (56:20), the role of specialized courts in the reentry process (1:02:32), and how individuals can work to improve the reentry experiences of the recently released (1:07:57).   Other Topics Include: 00:30 - Catch up with Ty and Daphne 02:36 - BhD “Oh Lawd” News 21:32 - Introduction of the Topic 22:44 - Learn More About Professor Anthony Thompson 1:13:30 - Ty and Daphne Reflect on the Interview   Resources: Professor Anthony C.

One oft-ignored consequence of mass incarceration is the release of massive numbers of people from prison each year. Where do these people go, and how likely are they to find decent housing and the other resources they need? Over the course of his ethnographic work in Oakland, California, Alessandro De Giorgi discovered how neoliberal economics and ideology impact the opportunities and life chances of formerly incarcerated people. (Encore presentation.) Alessandro De Giorgi, “Back to Nothing: Prisoner Reentry and Neoliberal Neglect” Social Justice The post Prisoner Reentry Under Neoliberalism appeared first on KPFA.

Today we take a broad definition of education and explore the process of released prisoners re-integrating into American society. My guest is CalvinJohn Smiley, an assistant professor at Hunter College, City University of New York. Calvin is currently co-editing a book with Keesha Middlemass entitled Prisoner Reentry in the 21st Century: Critical Perspectives of Returning Home, which will be published by Routledge. In our conversation, Calvin puts prisoner reentry in a historical context and argues that the American prison system should not simply be reformed but must be abolished altogether.

Returning to life outside of prison: It’s called re-entry. Getting people ready to go home just makes sense if you want them to succeed, and over 95 percent of all imprisoned people are eventually released. But we didn’t always do much to assure reentry success, and in many places and many ways, we still don’t. What does the evidence show about what works?
