Megan Edge: Prison Project Director at the ACLU of Alaska

Megan Edge is the Prison Project Director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska. At age 19, Megan got her first job in a newsroom, and she worked as a journalist for seven years covering local Anchorage issues, state politics, military affairs, the Iditarod, and most relevant to today’s conversation, crime and courts. In 2017, she left the news business to work in Governor Bill Walker’s administration as the Department of Corrections Public Information Officer. Her eyes were opened to many of the problems in Alaska’s prison system, and this led her to create the Prison Project at the ACLU of Alaska.
