NTRVW#48. Lauren Reed - Facilitating Higher Education in Prison

Lauren Reed was a U.S. Marine who made a tragic decision that landed her in prison. She had the opportunity to enroll in a college program while locked up and it changed her life. Now she is an advocate for college in prison programming across the country and specifically for incarcerated women. We talk about her life growing up, what it was like in prison, and what she's doing now as a Community Engagement Coordinator for the Alliance for Higher Education in Prison.
