Inside-Out: Bridging Education and Incarceration with Joanne Falvai

I've learned in this process and through all of my years of teaching that people are really lonely. Moving us forward is about allowing people to connect with each other, to see themselves as whole beings, and to strengthen their relationships with their communities.
What happens when university students and inmates share a classroom? Criminology professor Joanne Falvai brought the Inside-Out program to Vancouver Island University in 2016, creating a unique educational experience where undergraduates and incarcerated learners come together for a semester of shared learning. In this episode of People First Radio, Joanne dives into the program's journey, its objectives, and the remarkable outcomes it has achieved over the years.
You'll hear firsthand accounts from former participants who reveal how this program has reshaped their perspectives, boosted their confidence, and helped them form meaningful connections. The Inside-Out program isn't just about education; it's about breaking down barriers and fostering mutual understanding. Tune in to discover how this initiative is transforming lives and challenging perceptions within the criminal justice system.
