The Role of Lived Experience in Making Change

On April 16, 2025, Northeastern Law's Center for Law, Equity and Race hosted a discussion with Kenneth Hartman, an award-winning writer and prison reform activist, on how leveraging lived experience is the key to making sustainable and substantial change to the criminal legal system.

 

As the executive director of Transformative Programming Works, Hartman is one of several formerly incarcerated leaders from community-based organizations offering restorative justice programs in California prisons.
