About One in Four Podcast

Humanize. Educate. Elevate. Conversations on the re-entry process of people who have experienced incarceration. Author and scholar Michelle Alexander said that, "The system of mass incarceration is based on the prison label, not prison time." Learn what barriers people who have paid their debt to society face when they come out of prison and return to their communities. We all have a role to play to promote a more just society, one that is not forever punishing. You too can offer "second chances" to individuals who come out of prison. As one of our podcast guests said, "we are not monsters, we are humans who want to do the right thing and contribute to society." Become and agent of change! Start by educating yourself about the formerly incarcerated and the impact that mass incarceration has on families and communities. Subscribe on all major podcast apps. The One in Four production team is comprised of enthusiastic and talented individuals: Bea Spadacini, Host, Producer and Writer; Tim Nicholson, Visual Artist and Co-Producer; Michael Balasia, Sound Engineer. Senior Advisors: Tara Libert, David Sampe, and Kadija Clifton.

   Sidecast on Health: Bea and Jennifer discuss the right to health through the lens of a personal journey

   Jennifer is a graduate of the Speakers Bureau of the Community Family Life Services, our partner in Season II. Although Jennifer has not experienced incarceration herself, her empathy comes from being a cancer survivor who has faced bias and discrimination in accessing care and treatment. Also, as a result of her illness, and the subsequent loss of her job, Jennifer was homelessness for several years while being a single Mother. This is her story about health, the commitment to live, and be a great Mom.
