Please join us Monday, March 18th on Prison Pipeline as we talk with Trisha Swanson about the women's 5k running club, "Reason to Run" at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.  

Reason to Run is a non-profit organization that exists to create a culture of hope, connection, and community. Reason to Run Program at CCCF began in 2015.  Around 200 inmates have trained in the program and more than185 post-release run care packages (running shoes, bra, socks, etc.)  have been provided to women who are taking this practical training and implementing it into their life rhythms after ending their time at CCCF.

While the primary focus of the running program is physical fitness, participants are encouraged to explore how running positively impacts mental health, goal setting and accountability. All participants are encouraged to support and assist other group members to reach their goals.

The program entails weekly outdoor group training sessions (60 - 80 minutes) in which all participants are invited to attend. Training sessions occur in tandem with keeping a running journal and completing mid-week personal training goals.

Prison Pipeline is a radio program dedicated to educating the public about the Oregon criminal justice system. Our goal is to present a unique understanding of the criminal justice system, address the root causes of crime, and challenge the status quo. We seek to promote awareness and activism in order to foster a safe, healthy, and just society. Tune in every Monday at 6:30 P.M. to hear our hosts Karen James, Adam Carpinelli, Amy Johnson, Emma Lugo, Doug McVay and Nicole Lindahl explore the Oregon justice system with a variety of guests. Hosts rotate weekly. Prison Pipeline's engineers are Danielle Parks and Michael Ftaclas.
