Darnell Epps

Darnell Epps is a graduate of Cornell University, and a former student of the Cornell Prison Education Program. Darnell was raised in the housing projects in Brooklyn, New York, at a time when school “zero-tolerance” policies and “broken windows” policing were the preferred policy response to urban crime. As a 20-year old, he began serving a 17-year prison sentence. Today, Darnell is a student at Yale Law School where he contributes to research focused on advancing technological equity on behalf of incarcerated college students. Darnell’s dream is to empower minority communities through self-learning, civic engagement, and access to legal education.
