Join the WashU Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS) Prison Education Project for this special conversation with Michelle West, Criminal Justice Reform Advocate.
After spending more than 30 years in federal prison, Michelle West knows the power of learning even within the confines of incarceration.
West will share how she navigated decades in prison with the belief that while her body was incarcerated, her mind could remain free. Through reading, education and continued learning, she found opportunities for growth and purpose while advocates on the outside fought for her freedom.
Now, West brings those experience to her work advocating for criminal justice reform. Join her for a conversation about education, perseverance, freedom and the ongoing movement for change.
Free and open to the public.
