Lilia Alvarez, J.D. - Guadalupe Teen Court Moves Justice Forward: A Closer Look at Experiential Learning at its Best

Arizona State University’s 6th Annual Prison Education Conference was hosted by the Prison Education Awareness Club (PEAC) with support from the Department of English and the School of Social Transformation, both units of the ASU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The conference highlights prison education programs as part of the American landscape. This year’s event focused primarily on education as the heart of justice and transformation. Panels included members from the Arizona Department of Corrections and from ATLaS (Arizona Transformative Law and Social Justice) Center for Successful Re-entry, as well as prison educators from ASU.

Keynote speakers were Judge Lilia Alvarez of Guadalupe Teen Court and Gigi Blanchard, a New York City-based writer and "delinquent-turned-activist."
