Why can't we fix the poverty to prison pipeline? | Divine Lipscomb | TEDxPSU

Divine Lipscomb's TEDxPSU talk discusses the systemic issues and structural failures that contribute to the cycle of poverty, trauma, and incarceration. He shares his personal journey as a two-time convicted felon and highlights the need for transformative and healing communal systems rather than punitive ones. Lipscomb emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of these behaviors and providing structural interventions. He also advocates for viewing conditions of poverty and structural violence as criminal, not the individuals affected by them.
