Illinois prisons punish people who get convicted of crimes.
But the state Constitution says criminal penalties should also be “restoring” them to “useful citizenship.”
WBEZ’s Prisoncast project asked hundreds of folks locked up in Illinois how they think about rehabilitation in prison.
We partnered with incarcerated journalists, who interviewed other men inside the Kewanee Life Skills Reentry Center about what’s helped them rehabilitate while they’re locked up.
