My Daughter, My Hero

By Mount Tamalpais College | March 3, 2017

TEDxSanQuentin

Prison University Project student Sam Johnson talks about how he found healing in prison through reconnecting with his daughter. After being incarcerated for 22 years, Sam was released on February 24.

Sam Johnson was Executive Chairman of the Men’s Advisory Council at San Quentin, meeting with the Warden and administration to represent the interests of the inmate population. He’s a facilitator for Insight Prison Project’s Victim Offender Education Group, and Co-Leader of the Alliance for Change Mentor Department.

Please note that the Prison University Project became Mount Tamalpais College in 2020.

It was an incredible (first) experience substitute teaching at @MtTamCollege, a college that runs out of San Quentin State Prison. Here's a little thread to recommend volunteering there to other Bay Area folks.
