The National Association of Brothers and Sisters In and Out (NABSIO) is actively tapping into this enormous “mental database” and developing a two-way street of communication through letter writing and the sending of historical and cultural Afrocentric books, newspapers, and other literature into prisons. This organization is literally reconnecting these fertile minds to outside communities and in some cases rekindling the thought process such that “each cell becomes a classroom for learning,” thus enabling its occupants to fully understand the difference between physical prison and mental prison.
What is the George Jackson University?
The George Jackson University is a concept of "Turning Prisons into Universities and Prison Cells into Classrooms for Afrocentric Studies." A concept that is implemented and developed by the inmates under the "Each One, Teach One, to Reach One" principle. The main function of the University is to engage "lifers" who have educated themselves while incarcerated, to become the professors, tutors, and instructors to those younger inmates with less time and who are unable to read and write.This university will be assisted by the outside connecting agency, the National Association of Brothers and Sisters In & Out (NABSIO), whose function is to keep accurate records and data of progress.
