    Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

    DEI seems to have ignored the formerly incarcerated

    “What is DEI if it’s not all about addressing the experience of stigmatised groups. But it appears that this particular group are being excluded by DEI professionals”

    Mass incarceration implies systemic issues that are inconvenient

    “You can probably accept that incarceration itself is part of a system and it’s important to examine our collective beliefs about the formerly incarcerated and the purpose of the system”

    The Formerly incarcerated force us to confront our beliefs about second chances

    “Still believe in second chances?”
