Samuel Nathaniel Brown, a formerly incarcerated activist and transformative justice advocate, made a powerful appearance at the "Black on the Ballot: A Community Forum" in Leimert Park’s Africa Town. Brown discussed his advocacy for Proposition 6 and shared his experiences from behind bars, where he initiated transformative programs aimed at reshaping lives from within the prison system. While incarcerated, Brown founded the 10P Program—Prisoners Parole Portfolio, a framework emphasizing Positive Programming and Prior Preparation that Prevents Poor Performance. This groundbreaking initiative aims to guide inmates from anti-social behavior to positive community integration. Partnering with activists outside, he co-founded the Anti-Violence Safety and Accountability Project (ASAP), an organization committed to breaking cycles of violence and challenging the deep roots of systemic racism. Brown also introduced his influential concept, "The Theory of Emotional Illiteracy Based Criminality," which examines how Adverse Childhood Experiences can drive individuals toward criminal behavior as a coping mechanism. With insights grounded in experience and driven by change, Brown’s story and work serve as a testament to resilience and the power of community-led reform. https://www.instagram.com/sam.nathaniel.brown/ https://www.laprogressive.com/law-and-justice/samual-nathaniel-brown https://www.allkings.org/our-team/sam-brown https://www.facebook.com/people/Samual-Nathaniel-Brown/pfbid02BDUn3yNWBCFoFRh1wADmSYJyfrFZDn7qCio9D7Qbwxr7d9ZUxpSm8S8tBNZLyCWzl/ https://www.10pprogram.org

Samuel Nathaniel Brown, a dedicated advocate and former incarcerated individual, spent 24 years challenging the inhumanity of the current prison system. He champions innovative rehabilitation approaches for successful societal reintegration. Sam's incarceration journey exemplifies reentry success, showcasing his unwavering determination and the vital support networks needed for human rights advocacy. During his time in prison, Sam initiated the 10P Program, guiding incarcerated persons from anti-social to pro-social mindsets, emphasizing personal growth and transformation. Samuel is a fervent supporter of The California Abolition Act (ACA 3), a constitutional amendment aimed at ending prisoner slavery, promoting rehabilitation, and stopping forced labor exploitation. The goal is to facilitate the transition of individuals leaving prison into contributing members of society. In 2014, Sam introduced "The Theory of Emotional Illiteracy-Based Criminality," linking adverse childhood experiences to criminal behaviors as coping mechanisms. A significant milestone in his journey occurred when, a few months before his release, he became one of the first to graduate with a bachelor's degree in communication studies through Cal State LA's Prison B.A. Graduation Initiative.

Sam Brown spent 24 years incarcerated—and during that time, he wrote legislation to end involuntary servitude in California, built a nonprofit from behind bars, and pioneered emotional literacy programs now implemented in over 20 prisons.

(EdSource is a nonprofit journalism organization reporting on education issues in California. Largest education reporting team in the state.) Samual N. Brown, Allen Burnett, Charlie Praphatananda and Dara Yin have stories to tell. Their time in prison was shrouded by their reality. Three of the four were charged with murder and sentenced to life without parole. It’s what one of them, who entered prison at 20, describes as death by incarceration. Taking college courses had been going on for decades in California prisons, but in 2016, California State University Los Angeles became the first public prison in the state to offer bachelor’s degrees to incarcerated people. Now, eight of the state’s 34 adult prisons have started or are soon to begin partnerships that award four-year degrees, putting California in the lead nationally in the movement to expand college degrees into the state’s prisons. The trend touches only a sliver of those in prison. While California incarcerates about 95,600 persons in its prison system, about 230 are enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program for the fall 2023 semester. For the four men whose stories are told in this documentary, just the chance to earn the degree made it possible for them to see themselves living a different life outside of prison. Three ultimately got their sentences commuted. The fourth was paroled.
