Brandon’s Commentary
I spent several years in prison between 16 and 24 yrs old. Now I am Dr. Brandon Warren, Director of Reentry Services and Adjunct Professor for a College-in-Prison program. I make commentary relevant to those affected by the criminal justice system, especially reentry issues, correctional education, critical thinking and philosophy.

I uploaded an episode called The Purpose of Education like 6 months ago but that was a commentary on MLKJr.s thoughts on the issue. This and the following episodes on the Purpose of Education are some of my own thoughts. These are videos I've also shown to my Reentry classes.

Sorry it's been a while since I posted. I'm just gonna start posting videos without editing them to my standards. I have too much footage to edit on my own in a timely manner. Also, start staying tuned to the end of the videos for ;)

This is a lecture on epistemology that I recorded for my philosophy classes. I'll be taking it down in a couple of weeks. I'll produce a better one to be released next semester.

Meet Terry Solley, the Executive Director of Texas Prison Outreach. I met Terry back in 2012 on the Darrington/Memorial Unit in Texas when he first began his seminary journey. Terry's life was defined by incarceration and crime from a young age. Serving a total of 28 years behind bars, with a decade entrenched in a notorious prison gang, his story begins where many end. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when he finds faith and a renewed purpose. Discover how he escaped the cycle of violence through faith and education, earning his bachelor’s degree while still inside, and now dedicates his life to guiding young men away from the shadows of prison gangs and crime. This isn't just a story of transformation; it's a beacon of hope for anyone who believes in second chances.
You can contact Terry at: Texas Prison Outreach 6302 Broadway, Suite 200, Pearland, Texas 77581
