Incarceration fails to correct behavior for the majority of the people who go through it. Jahmaya Kessler shows us the value of offering compassionate incarceration to not just prisoners, but to all of us. Jahmaya Kessler is a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based counselor and jail and prison program specialist who has been working with incarcerated adults for the last 6 years. Within that span of time, the way he sees this population and the correctional system has been completely transformed. As someone who specializes in how trauma impacts the body and brain, he has become passionate about how the system creates harm rather than healing, and the impact this has on the culture at large. He hopes to educate the general public about the benefits of offering compassionate services, and the dangerous costs of not paying attention to who will be walking out those locked doors if we don't.
