Joyce Klein, director of FIELD at the Aspen Institute, recently appeared on the podcast Own It: Starting a Business after Prison to discuss how entrepreneurship can help the formerly incarcerated reenter society. The conversation draws from our report, Prison to Proprietor: Entrepreneurship as a Re-Entry Strategy, which highlights several programs using business ownership strategies to equip formerly incarcerated individuals with tools to support themselves, their families, and their communities.
