Enjoying #ilchep #educationforall conference in Springfield, this session about potential of mindfulness in prison. I’ve used one of these books extensively in my own recovery and am grateful to @EJPillinois for being this work to our friends who are incarcerated
“There’s a lot of homage being paid of Abraham Lincoln here in IL. That’s great. In Atlanta we have huge effigies of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. There is exactly no reason that GA should be outdoing IL [in higher ed in prison].” - Tariq Baiyina @CommonGoodATL #ILCHEP

@StateRepAmmons is a champion of #educationforall: the inspiration for this #ILCHEP conference which is advocating for resources, #accesstoeducation, and freedom from censorship for incarcerated students in IL.
Michael Tafolla talked about how GED and community college education in prison is like a "monologue of education" where you regurgitate things you've been told. But a university education is actually a dialogue. #ILCHEP #EducationForAll #AccessToEducation #FTLCampaign
We learned that prior to 1988, there was a 32 year collaboration between Menard Correctional Center and Southern Illinois University which included a bachelor's and master's program, fully funded, and with a living stipend. #ILCHEP #EducationForAll #AccessToEducation #FTLCampaign

Today we are convening in Springfield for higher education in Illinois prisons. The first panel includes incarcerated students at Stateville Correctional Center video chatting about their educational experiences. #ILCHEP #EducationForAll #AccessToEducation #FTLCampaign
Headed there now! Looking forward to talking about #CollegeBehindBarsPBS and @BPIBard with Illinois lawmakers and educators. There’s so much more this state could be doing to support thriving #CollegeInPrison. #Accesstoeducation #ILCHEP
We're ready... for the first ever conference on higher education in IL prisons, starting tomorrow. Event is across the street from the state capital, the better to engage with legislators and IDOC officials. Change is coming! #ILCHEP #Accesstoeducation #FTLCampaign
