Episode: The Kewanee Life Skills Re-entry Center is different from most prisons in Illinois
Description: For this story… we’re going to take you inside a prison.
For months, WBEZ has been collaborating with incarcerated journalists at the Kewanee Life Skills Re-entry Center in northwest Illinois.
It’s focused on preparing returning citizens for their lives outside.
That means… investment classes. An art studio. A barbershop for learning to cut hair.
Last week, we passed the mic to one of the journalists there.
Now, he’s gonna take us on a tour to meet some of the folks incarcerated at Kewanee… and along the way, record some holiday greetings for their loved ones on the outside.
