Randall Horton is an associate professor of English at the University of New Haven. His new memoir, Dead Weight details his time incarcerated.

Today, we talk about his journey from incarcerated person to English professor.

Horton’s numerous felony convictions made establishing a career in academia challenging, at best.

Have your or someone you know navigated transitioning out of the prison system? We want to hear from you.
