Lakeesha Eure's Mission of Rethinking Public Saftey

The Urban Perspectives is a podcast where justice meets transformation. Hosted by Akbar Pray, who served 36 years for a non-violent drug offense, this series sheds light on the realities of incarceration, reentry, and the urgent need for systemic reform. From his unique perspective as a writer, mentor, and advocate, Akbar leads unfiltered conversations with individuals who have lived through, shaped, or are working to change the justice system. Explore the harsh truths of a broken system, hear stories of resilience, and discover actionable ideas for restorative justice. With each episode, The Urban Perspectives aims to challenge dominant narratives and inspire hope for a fairer, more compassionate future.
