About this listen
Join host Carrie Basas as she chats with guest Jim Chambers about the challenges facing families affected by incarceration. They discuss Jim's experiences of family engagement after serving a 23-year prison sentence and his advocacy work. Jim shares his journey from incarceration to becoming a peer leader in prison programs such as Long Distance Dads and an ally with the Black Prisoners Caucus. They delve into the challenges of reintegration, the barriers faced by incarcerated parents, the judgments that others can make about our worst moments, and the importance of supportive relationships. Jim also talks about the clemency process, working toward systemic change, and his hopes for building a better future for his family.
