## Resource

This conversation is between Blue Heart and ⁠Pep Talk⁠ AKA PRE-ENTRY PLATFORM (P.E.P.), which offers resources to incarcerated individuals planning re-entry. You can connect with them and learn about upcoming events on their website. NOTE: the audio quality is not up to our usual standard, due to a real-time lockdown of the institution at the time of recording; there are multiple breaks where the interviewee ran out of time on the available phones and had to dial back in. Join the movement of Grassroots Giving by becoming a Blue Heart member at https://www.blueheartaction.org/signup. This interview was conducted by Blue Heart's Director Eva Orbuch.
