Episode 4 - Prison to Education Programs with UC Irvine's LIFTED and Underground Scholars

The Do Good Team Podcast

We're back! In today's episode Nora and David discuss UC Irvine's unique prison to education pipeline programs with Professor Keramet Reiter and Hector Cervantes. Professor Reiter teaches Criminology and Law & Society at UC Irvine's School of Law and, additionally, serves as the Director of LIFTED (Leveraging Inspiring Futures Through Educational Degrees), the first in-prison BA-degree completion program in the University of California system. Hector Cervantes is the Program Director for Underground Scholars, a program designed to attract and retain previously incarcerated students so they may successfully complete their studies on campus after release. We discuss the individual and societal benefits of these programs, how the programs continue to grow, and how you can help!
