The value of the voices behind prison walls | Kim Bogucki | TEDxMonroeCorrectionalComplex
Description:

What happens when a detective from Seattle ends up visiting a prison and discovers it's not at all like what she imagined?

Detective Kim Bogucki has more than 25 years of experience with the Seattle Police Department. She is currently assigned to the Community Outreach Unit. She has two goals: foster community outreach and reduce the cycle of crime. Six years ago, Kim co-founded the IF Project after forming an unlikely partnership with prison inmates that led to the development of an innovative program that utilizes writings and experiences from inside the prison walls to affect positive change. She also launched another nonprofit organization: Tithe One on which aims at re-messaging anti-bullying and creating communities of kindness.
