Education Over Incarceration: a pathway to breaking the cycle of crime and poverty
The concept of education not incarceration is crucial because it prioritizes investing in people and their future rather than relying on punitive measures that perpetuate a cycle of crime and poverty. Investing in education is more cost-effective and provides long-term benefits to society.

From Incarceration to Inspiration: how education helped me rebuild my future
Education gave me opportunities I thought I had lost due to my incarceration. After my release, I enrolled in college while under parole supervision. The process has been challenging and still is, but every day I see how far I've come, and I am forever thankful for that.
