What Three People Taught Me About Life After Incarceration
Offered By: TEDx via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals in this thought-provoking TEDx talk. Delve into the complex web of over 40,000 "collateral consequences" that continue to restrict ex-convicts' access to housing, employment, and voting rights long after their release. Examine how false narratives surrounding addiction and crime perpetuate judgment and hinder real freedom for those who have served their time. Learn about the vicious cycle of recidivism and its impact on communities, with a focus on Bexar County's 34% three-year recidivism rate. Consider the role of compassion in creating safe spaces for ex-convicts to thrive and break free from the cycle of reoffending. Gain insights from Bria Woods, a photojournalist and artist dedicated to documenting women leaders' stories, as she shares valuable lessons learned from three individuals about life after incarceration.
