TCD Social Entrepreneurship Speaker Series 2013


Mark Johnson, UserVoice - "ONLY OFFENDERS CAN STOP RE-OFFENDING"

The School of Business, in association with the Innovation Academy, Enactus and our partners Ashoka Ireland are delighted to announce the first TCD Social Entrepreneurship Speaker Series event for 2013!  Mark Johnson, founder of UserVoice.org has a history of serious crime, homelessness and drug abuse. He went through rehabilitation at the age of 29, and since then has become a leading figure in the criminal justice reform movement.  Mark’s organisation, User Voice, exists to reduce offending. Their work is led and delivered by ex-offenders who foster dialogue between users and providers of services within the criminal justice system. Through democratically elected prison and probation councils, his work is providing ways to enable unheard voices to make a difference, convincing policy-makers and showing dramatic impact. User Voice believes “only offenders can stop re-offending.”  Mark’s autobiography, Wasted, is a best seller, and he is a regular columnist with the Guardian newspaper.  Mark is currently in the process of bringing User Voice to the Irish Prison System.
