When I used to think about men in prison, I didn’t picture Mannie Thomas. I didn’t picture guys in their prison blues gathering to talk about the f word—feminism. I didn’t imagine their shared vulnerability, honestly looking at their trauma and their fears and their truths together. I didn’t expect this much love and brotherly support.
But that’s what our conversation today is about.
My guest is Mannie Thomas III. Mannie served 15 years of a 32 years-to-life sentence, during which time he joined a transformational feminist program for people who have caused harm. Today, Mannie is the Co-Executive Director of the organization that led that program, Success Stories.
