Advice From the Inside Out
Advice from the Inside Out takes an in-depth look at solutions-based approaches to diverting recidivism for both juveniles and adults caught up in the criminal justice system. It features conversations with both our formerly incarcerated populations and the incredible people, who work with these individuals to ensure justice is served. We talk with those who are directly impacted by the juvenile and adult justice systems and those who have played a role in attempting to move the needle forward and to divert recidivism. The podcast is a collection of advice from the inside out. It’s about breaking the cycle of recidivism. By providing first-hand life experiences and opportunities to reimagine the correctional system for juveniles and adults, listeners can learn valuable life lessons and have perspective changing experiences.
