The PrisonCare Podcast
A prison is an uneasy neighborhood made up of residents, officers, staff, and administrators. Compassionate people can learn ways to support positive prison culture from outside the walls. Join Sabrina Justison (whose son, J, is incarcerated) to deepen your awareness of often-ignored populations in our society. Educate yourself and your local community about practical ways to make things better on the inside. Learn to encourage and support incarcerated people AND those who provide for their custody, care, and control. Together we can work toward a better future where restorative practices and normalization efforts make life behind the walls better for EVERYone who must spend time there. Begin prison reform before a single piece of legislation is passed! prisoncare.org sabrinajustison.com
