Learning in prison
What can we learn from people in prison? A lot according to students who are part of a special program called Walls to Bridges. They attend class in prison with people who’ve been incarcerated. And the idea is that each student, whether from the outside or living in prison - is a learner AND a teacher. Simone Davis is cofounder of the Walls to Bridges program and talks about how the experience can be life changing.
Info on Guest:
Simone Davis began her prison education work with the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, and went on to co-found the Walls to Bridges program. She teaches Ethics, Society and Law at Trinity College at the University of Toronto.
