From Incarceration to Inspiration: The Educational Journey of Michael Griggs
August 28, 2024
Inside-Out alumnus Michael Griggs’ story is one of adversity and triumph. Formerly incarcerated, he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees and now guides other formerly incarcerated students on their academic journeys. Michael has worked as a training coach with Inside-Out since 2021.
"It's important to acknowledge the support of my mentors and incredible organizations like the Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), Pitzer College, Prison Education Project, The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, and the Miguel Contreras Foundation and of course Project Rebound CSUSB California State University-San Bernardino CSUSB School of Social Work.
"Without them, none of this would be possible. It's crucial to recognize that I am not an exception. Formerly incarcerated students, like those in Project Rebound, are achieving remarkable success statewide. I am just one individual whose story has been featured, let’s continue to highlight and celebrate these stories." – Michael Griggs
