To describe Eldra Jackson III as a "prison reform success story" would not only be a vast understatement; it would also leave unacknowledged the trauma, the trials and the transformation this extraordinary man has gone through to become who he is today. Eldra is an inspiring public speaker, author and co-director of Inside Circle, a healing community in which adult and juvenile inmates are supported in processing their trauma and discovering and expressing their full range of emotions. Having suffered sexual child abuse in his early youth, Eldra eventually spiralled downward into a life of violent criminal and gang activity, which ultimately left him in New Folsom Prison serving what was meant to be a life sentence. He shares with us his story of how supportive, open-hearted men's work in a safe community catalyzed his personal healing and transformation into becoming a leader in that very same group, and beyond.
