Wendy Feldman is unique. She is a “prison” and criminal justice consultant and coach who works with people to prepare for court, investigations, incarceration, alternative sentences and most importantly, re-entry into society. She is the only woman in her field and the only ex-offender who now works in collaboration with different law enforcement agencies. Others have turned their criminal justice experiences into major platforms for change and awareness, but none have been able to present all sides of the story from personal, inside experience.
Wendy coined the term INCARCERVENTION. She prepares her clients for it all, while pushing them to get real, be honest and lead happier and productive lives once they are out. Wendy believes that prison should be a TRANSFORMATIONAL experience and the ultimate equalizer. Neither pro offender nor pro law enforcement, she believes in Equal Justice and understands all sides.

She is a member of the Pasadena Police Department’s mental health advisory committee and has a revolutionary legal wellness program with them as well.Show Date(s):10/5/11Website: http://www.custodialcoaching.com/
