John is a senior studying English at UCLA. He is a non-traditional transfer student that completed most of his transfer requirements while incarcerated and continued to pursue education upon release. Through writing and performance art, he aims to make higher education accessible to our incarcerated community members and alleviate the stigma that is commonly associated with incarceration. His hopes are to teach university-level courses inside prisons, using art as a form of therapy and education. John’s other interests include writing and tabletop gaming.
