Based on experience in his twenty years of incarceration, Maurice Tyree introduces both the problems of and solutions to the disaster that is the American carceral state. Touching on the effects of family and environment, the education system, and anti-Blackness, Tyree will offer up his thoughts on overhauling the prison industry, so those who leave prison can actually become assets to both themselves and their community.
This conversation is led by Chris McAuley, Black Studies Collection Editor at Lived Places Publishing and includes Tyree's co-author Katie Singer. Together, they wrote The Darkest Parts of my Blackness: A Journey of Remorse, Reform, Reconciliation, and (R)evolution, published in August 2024.
