Talks at Universities
My name is Michael Santos, and I'm the founder of Prison Professors Charitable. I speak in universities across the United States, sharing lessons I learned while going through 26 years in federal prison. My mission is to bring reforms that will lower the number of people in prison, and increase the number of people who succeed upon release.
