Profesores de PUP Laura Wagner and Paco Brito Por Juan Espinosa Diseñador gráfico y escritor Prison University Project (PUP) está localizada en una de las prisiones más notorias en el mundo: La Prisión de San Quentin en California. PUP incluye un selecto gru- po de profesores, tutores, y voluntarios de varias univer- sidades prestigiosas como U.C. Berkeley, Stanford, San Francisco State, San Jose State, y varias otras universi- dades locales y de alrededor del mundo. Estos participantes son una parte esencial en la edu- cación y rehabilitación de los hombres encarcelados en San Quentin. Dos de esos profesores voluntarios son Paco Brito y Laura Wagner. Ellos son me- jor conocidos por los estudi- antes por su primer nombre en lugar de su apellido. Paco y Laura comparten una historia interesante. El- los se conocieron por prim- era vez en una protesta por el alza de pago en colegiaturas en la Universidad de Berke- ley y desarrollaron una con- exión personal. Los dos comparten la misma idea de que todas las personas deberían tener la oportunidad de tener una educación. “Empezamos a organizar eventos juntos en la univer- sidad,” Paco explicó en una reciente entrevista. Laura agregó que su intención era hacer cambios en la cultura de los estudiantes. “Comencé a ser voluntario de PUP en el 2012 porque recordé cuando la educación era una prioridad en Califor- nia”, dijo Paco. “Después de la noche al mañana cambio a la construcción de prisio- nes”. Laura se enteró de PUP por una amiga. “me hice voluntaria para enseñar un curso de inglés”, dijo ella. Laura enseño varios cursos de inglés y, en una ocasión, compartió las aulas con Paco enseñando una clase de in- vestigación avanzada. Laura dijo, “Cuando empecé a re- lacionarme con mis estudi- antes, mi perspectiva cambio porque fui capaz de ver su humanidad”. “Ms. Wagner es una per- sona especial”. Dijo Steve Brooks, un preso quien tomó clases con Laura. “ella es at- enta, cordial, y siempre ani- ma a sus estudiantes”. “Como profesora es excep- cional”, dijo Brooks, “Ella es muy consciente y todo el tiempo trata de que los es- tudiantes se envuelvan en las conversaciones en clase. Y cuando estos no quieren participar les da un pequeño empujón (figurativamente hablando) para que sientan más confianza”. Paco enseño inglés y es- pañol, él dice, “Me sorprendí cuando los estudiantes retab- an y cuestionaban todo”, dice Brito, “Me gustó el intercam- bio de ideas entre los estudi- antes y profesores”. “Paco es un profesor ex- celente”, dijo Carlos Salmón quien enseño un curso de español con él. “Su forma de enseñar es fácil y eficiente”. Richard Richarson un es- tudiante de PUP quien tomo clases de español con Paco, dice Paco hizo el aprender español muy fácil aun para las personas como yo que no teníamos idea de cómo escri- bir español y mucho menos lo hablábamos. “Nos enseñó a conjugar los verbos en una forma fácil de entender”. Richarson dijo, “Paco es una persona muy buena, aten- ta y es muy difícil no llevarse bien con él. Y lo que siempre me llamó la atención es que siempre está contento”. Paco y Laura están de acu- erdo en que los estudiantes encarcelados de colegio son diferentes a los estudiantes de colegio tradicionales. “estos tienen la disposición de cuestionar el proyecto y se envuelven en este,” dijo Laura. “Yo encontré formas diferentes para enseñar mi material y para que fuera más relevante”. La pareja recientemente se movió para el sur de Califor- nia en donde Laura consiguió un trabajo en un colegio co- munitario. Laura dijo, “estoy muy emocionada de comen- zar mi carrera oficial como catedrática”. — Profesores de PUP Laura Wagner and Paco Brito Por Juan Espinosa Diseñador gráfico y escritor Prison University Project (PUP) está localizada en una de las prisiones más notorias en el mundo: La Prisión de San Quentin en California.

and the long lines of women who were always there to vis- it men who were incarcerated and show them love and sup- port, but when I was impris- oned for almost two decades, the few visits I received came from women family, friends and outside organizational supporters. The reality is that most currently and formerly incarcerated women do not experience an equal level of commitment, support and consideration as our male counterparts.” Most current penal polices neither respect nor promote the continuance of family and interpersonal bonds while women are incarcerated. As a result, women experience a lot more shame, blame and loss of prior identities due to the numerous roles they once played in the lives of those around them being disrupted by incarceration. All of these combined fac- tors create greater hurdles to reintegration and the reestab- lishment of a woman’s place in the community when she returns home. Most often, women cannot easily re- sume their previous roles and struggle to receive adequate enough support to create new identities in the community as returning citizens. A study by the U.S. De- partment of Health and Hu- man Services on women returning home from prison noted that women need to be supported with relational models in reintegration that are sensitive to their racial, ethnic and cultural back- Photo courtesy of LSPC A guest enjoying the event Women having a discussion at the event about the trials of reentry Photo courtesy of LSPC grounds.

Organizations like LSPC, which was founded in 1978 to support the continued re- lationships of incarcerated parents and children, and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP), founded in 1995 to address institutional abuse and sys- temic conditions women face while incarcerated, are work- ing to develop programs and models for reentry services that reflect the unique needs and challenges of returning women. According to Policy Manager and Event Coordinator Sabina Crocette, “LSPC developed the idea of celebrating and welcoming women home from jail, prison, detention and other forms of incarceration for the holidays each year as a means of acknowledging their importance and value as returning citizens and members of the community, who need to be respected and embraced throughout their journeys back home.” “A Woman’s Journey Home: Challenges for Fe- male Offenders and Their Children” (2001).
