Beyond The Box
Episode 1: How is a Leader Made in NYC?
How do you go from being an incarcerated teenager from the Bronx, to a nationally recognized thought leader on criminal justice reform?
Doug Lasdon talks with Johnny Perez, his new cohost for Beyond the Box Season 2, about growing up in the Bronx, being incarcerated, becoming a leader in the social justice community, working at and joining the board of UJC, and being the Director of NRCAT’s U.S. Prisons Program – oh, and being a great photographer as well!
