Play: Performance, Incarceration, and Representation ———- This project was conceived by Oona and coauthored with Reggie, Amie, Troy, and Luke. The contributors were interviewed in person or via mail and their responses were edited together. While the central focus of the essay is the PACE program, many of the observations made are applicable to the PCF phenomenon more broadly. Luke’s reflections are based on his experience with the Artistic Ensemble at San Quentin; his observations offer valuable insights into that program and the dynamic of PCF in general. Authors reviewed multiple drafts and submitted feedback before the essay was completed. (https://public.imaginingamerica.org/blog/article/performance-incarceration-and-representation-a-guided-tour/)

Story: The Life ———- “Back to humble beginnings. There’s no drinking, no drugs. I’m in the house by 9:00pm. It’s not thrilling like the drug life. But I’m alive. And I’ve got things I don’t want to lose. With a Perspective, I’m Reggie Daniels.” (https://www.kqed.org/perspectives/201105180735/the-life) 
Book: Exploring Ways to Bring Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Into Rehabilitative Programs ———- The present study analyzes the effectiveness of a culturally relevant prison rehabilitation program carried out with 41 inmates at a California jail. The aspect of prison rehabilitation has not received enough attention by researchers previously. In this case, the author conducted an in-depth quantitative analysis on a survey with participants that he was teaching. Regression analysis was used to explore the data. The results of the regression indicated that the culturally-relevant instructor significantly enhanced violence prevention.
