Community conversations inside a prison
Description
What's life like behind prison walls? How are people there trying to turn it into a place for positive change and restoration?
In September, Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Alaska opened its doors for a community conversation with inmates, staff, and the public. All of the participants sat together in a circle for an open conversation. For many Seward community members, it was their first time at the prison. The event was part of Community in Unity, Alaska Public Media's community dialogue series.
In this short segment, we hear from three inmates about how life in the prison is changing and what the institution's superintendent thinks needs to happen to help them succeed.
The full conversation will be released on Oct. 17.
