What Happens When Our Prisons Go ‘Woke’?

Diversity training is hot right now. And you may have heard that employers are doubling down on the concept, forcing their employees to take additional and more aggressive forms of “equity and inclusion” training.

Increasingly, government HR departments are pushing the same agenda as the private sector. Colorado’s state prison system embraced some of the worst forms of these programs. It began requiring all corrections officers to undergo shockingly racist “DEI” (diversity, equity, and inclusion) training, so they could apply what they had learned in their work with inmates. The lessons even caused some corrections officers, like our client, former sergeant Joshua Young, to leave their jobs.
