When do prisoners wrongs end, and their rights begin? by Benny Lee

Share this:

“The path to the rehabilitation of an ex-con is stacked against them. The term itself even carries a stigma. Ex-con turned Adjunct Professor Benny Lee challenges us to re-think what prisoner reform is really about. Benny Lee spent the late 60s through early 80s as a gang leader of the Conservative Vice Lord Nation, eventually spending three years on death row. He is now a community liaison and reentry specialist for TASC, preparing individuals to make successful transitions from incarceration into the community. He also works with communities to help them build their capacity to effectively receive individuals returning home following incarceration. He is a nonviolence trainer for the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago.”



This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
