One in Four Podcast

One in Four Podcast

Humanize. Educate. Elevate. Conversations on the re-entry process of people who have experienced incarceration. Author and scholar Michelle Alexander said that, "The system of mass incarceration is based on the prison label, not prison time." Learn what barriers people who have paid their debt to society face when they come out of prison and return to their communities. We all have a role to play to promote a more just society, one that is not forever punishing. You too can offer "second chances" to individuals who come out of prison. As one of our podcast guests said, "we are not monsters, we are humans who want to do the right thing and contribute to society." Become and agent of change! Start by educating yourself about the formerly incarcerated and the impact that mass incarceration has on families and communities. Subscribe on all major podcast apps. The One in Four production team is comprised of enthusiastic and talented individuals: Bea Spadacini, Host, Producer and Writer; Tim Nicholson, Visual Artist and Co-Producer; Michael Balasia, Sound Engineer. Senior Advisors: Tara Libert, David Sampe, and Kadija Clifton.

This is why offering training programs inside jails or prisons is fundamental to preparing inmates for coming home and being productive citizens. According to a July 2018 report by the Prison Policy Initiative entitled Out of Prison, Out of Work, formerly incarcerated people are unemplo...

In this episode we stay focused on the topic of employment but look at the specific challenges that women face when they come out of prison or jail, which can make landing a job even harder. Over the last 25 years, the number of incarcerated women has increased by more than 700%. Though many more men are in prison than women, the rate of growth for female imprisonment has been twice as high as that of men since 1980. This is primar...
