Healing Together: Marianne Oleson

In our second episode, Marianne Oleson, Executive Assistant at EXPO Wisconsin (Ex-incarcerated People Organizing), tells us her story as a person who was formally incarcerated to her journey to studying Criminal and Social Justice at the University of Arizona and working at EXPO. Along the way, we tackle themes surrounding restorative justice, what reconciliation really means, incarceration in Wisconsin, and different solutions to how we can reform the criminal legal system in the United States. With her passion for learning and understanding the world around her, Marianne seeks to learn as much as possible to have a direct hand in ending mass incarceration. In doing so, her work is driven by a desire to honor the humanity of all people.
