BCPEP Director Dr. Patrick Conway will be moderating the discussion, which will include participation from BCPEP students currently studying on campus, alongside an incredible lineup of panelists (Anna Haskins, Shawn Jenkins, Zachariah Presutti, S.J., and Ved Price). BCPEP will also be mirroring this event inside MCI-Shirley earlier the same day, ensuring that all BCPEP students—regardless of incarceration status—can engage.
The three men on this panel were sentenced to die by incarceration and each served more than 20 years in prison. All three pursued education as the path toward rehabilitation and transformation. Join and hear how education changed them and their families. Together we will explore how college access and success leaders can all work together to improve the education of our communities and move away from mass incarceration.
This four-day series of public events will confront the realities of the criminal legal system through immersive experiences and critical conversations, held across several Milwaukee campuses.
Register to secure your spot for an evening convening that brings together faith leaders, higher education partners, employers and reentry organizations to address the challenges and opportunities faced by individuals pursuing education after incarceration. The event is designed to deepen understanding, strengthen collaboration and invite new partners into the 2026 Strategic Planning process for VCHEP.
