Advice From the Inside Out

Advice from the Inside Out takes an in-depth look at solutions-based approaches to diverting recidivism for both juveniles and adults caught up in the criminal justice system. It features conversations with both our formerly incarcerated populations and the incredible people, who work with these individuals to ensure justice is served. We talk with those who are directly impacted by the juvenile and adult justice systems and those who have played a role in attempting to move the needle forward and to divert recidivism. The podcast is a collection of advice from the inside out. It’s about breaking the cycle of recidivism. By providing first-hand life experiences and opportunities to reimagine the correctional system for juveniles and adults, listeners can learn valuable life lessons and have perspective changing experiences.

Advice From the Inside Out

A Positive View of My Future!

November 23, 2021 • Commish Liss • Season 1 • Episode 11

How do we help students find their strengths so that they see a positive way forward? Positive youth influencer can forever change the trajectory of their students’ lives for the better. Many justice engaged youth, lacked trusted adults as they began to disengage from school. In addition, some of these youth confided in negative influencers such as gangs, to help guide them through life. This contributes to the cycles of recidivism for juveniles. What does the data tell us about these youth’s positive view of their futures? We have a conversation with Dana Bunnett, Director of Kids in Common (dbunnett@kidsincommon.org) , to discuss the most recent data on these topics. We also consult Abdul Duso, National Student Life Director at College Track to find out more about sense of purpose work. Abdul gives his insight on sense of purpose work with the juvenile justice student populations. Special thanks to our graphic artist, Tess Buckley.
