Changing the Game

Screening: October 3, 2021 3:10 pm

Running Time: 12 minutes

This video explores the organizational impact of From Prison Cells to PhDs as we invest in the potential of currently and formerly incarcerated individuals. Told with the voices of our Director, our Scholars and Team Members, and the stunning backdrop of Baltimore City, you will see what happens when an organization invests in potential. Lives are forever changed – individuals, families, and communities. Prison-to-Professionals (P2P) work tirelessly to reach, touch and change lives. Our team inspires people with criminal convictions to excel BEYOND what society and life circumstances have determined to be the norm. From Prison Cells the Ph.D. is not about helping someone pursue a Ph.D. or a doctorate degree or professional degree. Prison to Professionals is about helping individuals pursue their innate excellence – helping them tap into and reach their full potential via higher educational attainment be that vocational school, professional school and beyond.
