About this listen
Host Michele Kawamoto Perry sits down with Kenneth Hartman, award-winning writer and prison reform advocate, who spent more than 37 years serving a life-without-parole sentence before receiving a commutation. In this conversation, Ken reflects on his path from a troubled youth to founding the groundbreaking Honor Program inside a maximum-security prison, and now to leading Transformative Programming Works, bringing rehabilitative initiatives to California’s prisons.
Together, they explore resilience, human dignity, racial integration, and the power of agency. Ken shares leadership lessons forged behind bars, the influence of mentors and fatherhood, and how lived experience can shape policy and inspire lasting systemic change.
