Join us for a special video screening of Inside Story, a new video series by The Marshall Project and VICE News designed to deliver criminal justice news and information to people both inside and outside of prison walls.

Dr. Stanley Andrisse, an HU College of Medicine faculty member, is featured in episode four of Inside Story, and will be part of a panel discussion with series co-creators and The Marshall Project's Lawrence Bartley and Donald Washington Jr., both of whom were previously incarcerated. Dr. Yeboah Quarkume, HU Department of Afro American Studies, will lead the panel discussion.

Inside Story is streamed on prison tablets and shown on correctional facilities’ closed-circuit TVs. It is now available in more than 1,000 prisons and jails across 48 states and counting. Subscribe to Inside Updates to follow The Marshall Project's work created for incarcerated readers.

About Dr. Andrisse: I am a formerly incarcerated person with three felony convictions, sentenced to ten years in prison as a prior and persistent career criminal. I was told by a prosecutor that I had no hope for change. I am now an endocrine scientist and assistant professor at Howard University College of Medicine, former faculty at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and visiting faculty at Imperial College London, and Georgetown University Medical Center. I am also the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Prison to Professionals (P2P), a nonprofit that helps 100s currently and formerly incarcerated men and women nationwide obtain higher education. I have also recently written a ‘#1 New Release in Educator Biographies’ book titled, "From Prison Cells to PhD: It is Never Too Late to Do Good."
