PODCAST

Beyond the Conviction

Beyond the Conviction is a raw and honest podcast exploring the realities of incarceration, the gaps in rehabilitation, and the urgent need for systemic reform. Through personal conversations with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals, family members, and advocates, the podcast brings lived experiences to the forefront and challenges the systems that too often fail to support rehabilitation and reintegration.

Featuring powerful stories, including an interview with Justin Berry after 20 years behind bars, Beyond the Conviction offers an inside look at prison life, the impact of incarceration, and what meaningful change can look like.

Join Cassandra as she goes beyond the conviction to ask the questions that matter and amplify the voices most affected by the justice system.
