Episode 3: Healing Within and Without Prisons
How do we respond to harm in ways that facilitate healing rather than repression? With Serge away for the birth of his child, Shakaboona sits down with Felix Rosado to discuss his work helping youth restore their relationship to community after committing harm. Felix speaks about his journey to becoming an advocate for restorative justice - from his childhood in Reading, PA, to his awakening at Graterford Prison - and how our criminal punishment system is “the antithesis of accountability.”
