In this episode, Emma Case, Planning and Advocacy Specialist with The Senior Alliance interviews Rodlescia Sneed, Assistant Professor of Gerontology at Wayne State University. They talk about her work with aging adults, especially those who have been incarcerated and then released. Some of the issues are the lack of understanding that seniors who have been released from the justice system have a much harder time getting services, housing, and even jobs, once they get back into society. Professor Sneed discusses how Area Agencies on Aging can do a better job in getting resources to help seniors involved in the justice system and how listeners can help to advocate for those seniors.
