Percy describes IGNITE as a cultural change…and after hearing more about it, we have to say that we agree with him. Based out of Genesee County Jail in Michigan, IGNITE is a program that offers extensive educational opportunities to incarcerated individuals. IGNITE is steadfast in its belief that education is the key to reducing recidivism and combating generational incarceration. People in the program are given time to explore a wide variety of careers, partake in group seminars addressing financial literacy and healthy lifestyle habits, and connect with community partners upon reentry. Join today’s conversation with Percy Glover, a formerly incarcerated individual at the center of IGNITE, and Deputy Clarke, a former team member of IGNITE, to learn more about this innovative work.
