Revolutionary Scholars Project
I am a formerly incarcerated student at California State University, Northridge majoring in Computer Science. I work for
Revolutionary Scholars Project on campus and we are building a prison-to-school pipeline through recruitment, retention,
and advocacy. Our success will directly challenge the stigmas associated with people with histories of incarceration.
Through our work, we support currently incarcerated individuals and formerly incarcerated and systems impacted students
to achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals. We are grounded in an abolitionist vision that understands carcerality as oppressive and we dedicate our work to fight
against all forms of subjugation.
We have different chapters of formerly incarcerated programs in the
California State Univerisy and University of California insitutions.
CSU: Project Rebound
Project Rebound was founded in 1967 by John Irwin, an SF State sociology professor who was himself formerly
incarcerated, Project Rebound was one of the first restorative justice programs in the country, and remains the only
organization of its kind. Many of the staff at the SF State Project Rebound program were once incarcerated themselves,
and the program has served more than a thousand students.
UC: Underground Scholars
The Underground Scholars Initiative (USI) was created to support all prospective and current UC Berkeley students
impacted by issues of mass incarceration, imprisonment, and detainment of any kind. The goal of USI is to bridge the
topic of mass incarceration that is highly popularized in academia with one that is grounded in the lived experiences of
UC Berkeley students. USI has the unique opportunity of making UC Berkeley a catalyst for the development of a Prison to
School pipeline within the University of California educational system.
