Jimmy Santiago Baca and Fleet Maull discuss their experiences in prison and how minority kids are often put on a track in school that eventually pushes them into jail.
Join our very own award winning New Mexican Jimmy Santiago Baca and Fleet Maull, one of the nation's leading teacher of mindfulness in prisons and with law enforcement.
In a dynamic interactive evening of dialogue, poetry and storytelling, hear about alternatives to kicking minority kids out of the classroom and pushing them into our prison system. Both speakers spent years in prison and since then devoted their lives to breaking the school to prison pipeline.
