Check out this new Darden Discoveries video, “From Inmates to Entrepreneurs”.
It features Professor Greg Fairchild’s Prisoner Reentry Training Program, a project which was funded by the Mead Endowment.
Fairchild on the prisoner entrepreneurship program:
This program is about finding ways that we might engage with prisoners in an educational mission, one that involves starting their own businesses, and that that initiative might be one to not only save the Commonwealth lots of funds, lots of money, but might change lives, and we feel that what we do at Darden with the case study method is one of the best ways to do that.
