Prison Scholars Part 2: Robert Wood on his journey to desistance through education

Hardly Working with Brent Orrell

The choices we make and who we make them with are the

primary factors shaping how we live. Few people know this better than Robert

Wood. In the final episode of our March miniseries on criminal justice topics,

Robert and I dive into how his perspectives, priorities and choices changed

during his stint in prison, and how his association with the Prison Scholar

Fund led to new beginnings.
