At MI-CEMI, we believe that quality programming inside Michigan’s prisons is a cornerstone of both rehabilitation and dignity. That’s why we created the Prison Programming Providers Table—a quarterly space for educators, advocates, and organizers working inside to share resources, improve programming access and quality, and engage with advocacy efforts to address prison policy issues.
Our next virtual gathering is coming up on Tuesday, May 13th from 12:00–1:30 PM EST on Zoom, and we’d love to see you there.
This session will focus on one of the most important—and sometimes overlooked—aspects of the work:
How do we get inside, build meaningful relationships, and maintain healthy boundaries?
We’ll be joined by featured panelists:
- Mark Hartman, Executive Director of Humanity for Prisoners and a formerly incarcerated advocate
- Paul Draus, University of Michigan Detroit Center, Inside/Out Program
Other speakers will be announced soon.
We’ll also leave plenty of time for open discussion—because we know many of you are navigating these challenges in real time.
