Akiel Chinelo, a poetry reading

video is of Akiel Chinelo, who reflects on his experience of prison and reads two extracts from his work. Some people may be surprised at his observation that prison provides the means to shut the rest of the world out, and possibly angered at the notion of prison as an opportunity. But if prison isn’t to be an opportunity, what possible hope is there for rehabilitation?

[Akiel is currently working on a novel through the Writing 3: Advanced course]
