This course focuses on the experiences of criminal offenders and the successful reentry back into society from an insider’s perspective. During this course, the students will discuss the history of imprisonment, the conditions of confinement typical in many of America’s prisons, and social/psychological issues relating to incarceration, with personal insight from the instructor. Topics will also include how incarceration experiences impact reentry; collateral consequences and discretionary disabilities encountered by the probationer/parole.
Through the eyes of someone that has been incarcerated in prison and served on parole, the students will gain a better understanding of being incarcerated and the obstacles of reentry. The student will be able to better interact and understand those that they supervise and with this knowledge, make a better reentry and successful integration back into society.
The instructor for this course is a California Board Licensed Attorney and prior to his admission to the Bar served a prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter. Students will explore topics through the use of article review, scenario-based discussion, and open discussion from the instructor's first-hand experiences and what it took to beat the odds of success.
