Strong Returns

In 2014, Scott Johnston and I co-founded Strong Returns, a campaign tour to organize campus prison reform groups in southern colleges. At each campus, we worked with both students and local formerly incarcerated people to create videos about prison reentry and the importance of reform. The videos are still on Youtube here.

Here are some of the oral histories we captured:

“A Life That Has Purpose” — Deborah Daniels

“So You Don’t Have to March Backwards” – Pastor Kenneth Glasgow

“The Hand You’re Dealt” – Carl Route

“Free of All Those Shackles” – Bill Smith

“Nothing For Us Without Us” – William T. Lawson
