Something unprecedented is happening in Philadelphia. Men and women convicted of homicide when they were minors are returning home after decades in prison. Who are they? How have they changed inside prison? John Pace and Mike Lyons, co-founders of The Redemption Project, will explore how we can better understand the stories of lifers.
John Pace earned a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University during his more than 30 years of incarceration for a crime he committed when he was 17. He was released in March.
Mike Lyons is an assistant professor of communication studies at Saint Joseph’s University. His work focuses on documenting and sharing the narratives of those serving life without parole.
This event is part of Eastern State's ongoing Searchlight Series of events addressing issues in contemporary corrections. The Searchlight Series discussions take place the first Tuesday of every month, free and open to the public. No reservations required.
