Victim-Offender Education Focuses on Spanish-Speaking Men (San Quentin News)

2/22/2016

On his second appearance before a parole board, Jose Segura was given a release date. He attributes this success to being able to express himself clearly through what he learned in the Spanish Victim Offender Education Group (VOEG).

VOEG is a program that puts offenders and victims of crime in dialogue so they can discuss the impact of crime on families and communities.

“When I committed my crime, I had a belief system called machismo. This belief system taught me to have a big ego, be tough, never ask for help or let another man push you around,” Segura said. “VOEG helped me see and transform the rage inside of me. I learned that asking for help or expressing my emotions is acceptable. It’s not something that makes me weak.”
