Restorative Justice with Katherin Hervey

Let's Talk Reform

Welcome to another episode of Season 2 of Let's Talk Reform! In our second episode, Riya Dange and Jenna Kanner talk with Katherin Hervey, the director, writer, and producer of the documentary The Prison Within. Hervey's experience as a Los Angeles Public Defender and volunteer prison college instructor inspired her to look into the intricacies of the injustices in the prison system. In the film, viewers get to know a group of men convicted of murder and involved in the Victim-Offender Educational Group. Our conversation explores sociopolitical factors contributing to mass incarceration and the benefit of restorative justice programs.
