Sean Larner

Sean Larner is a prison activist. After taking college courses taught in Otisville State Prison, he realized that the increasingly public discourse on prison issues still neglected voices of the formerly incarcerated. To address this gap, he compiled and transcribed original interviews with formerly incarcerated men and women.

Sean is also a recent graduate of Vassar College, where he majored in cognitive science with a secondary concentration in Africana studies. There he was president of the Vassar Prison Initiative (VPI), a student organization committed to raising consciousness and facilitating action on issues of incarceration. He has also interned at the Vera Institute for Justice and San Francisco Office of the Public Defender.
