People for Change will host the midwest HUB meeting for the Inside/Out Prison Exchange Project Saturday, April 28. We are welcoming 30 guests from around the region along with 25 local participants, inside and outside faculty and alumni.  The program will include discussions of think tank development, course pedagogy, content, and projects, and a session devoted to strategies to further our goals of breaking down barriers through education and organization.

The collaboration between the University of Toledo and the Toledo Correctional Facility is getting ever stronger even while the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections undergoes significant reorganization. We are grateful for the cooperation of staff at ToCI and for the solid participation of those who live inside in the efforts of People for Change.

Students, alumni from our classes, will run the day-long meeting. We will report here on outcomes and developments.
