Show for April 10, 2011. Can Violence be Unlearned?

While criminal rehabilitation seems to have fallen out of favor in much of America’s penal system, San Francisco’s Resolve to Stop the Violence Project (RSVP) is bucking the trend. RSVP aims to reform violent felons in SF’s county jails, and the program appears to be working. In this broadcast, originally from 2009, we spoke to RSVP founder Sunny Schwartz (author of Dreams from the Monster Factory) and to Ramon Garcia, who participated in the program, first as an inmate and later as a teacher.
