Lucía de la Fuente, MA in International Studies and Conflict Resolution, and PhD in Anthropology and Social Change, leads the Spanish-speaking GRIP program, exclusively designed for our Latino/Chicano community behind bars. For the past decade, she has focused her research on restorative justice, and began her practice six years ago, working with incarcerated Latino/Chicano women and men in California. She joined the GRIP family in 2016 to translate into Spanish and culturally adapt the GRIP program, hoping to better serve our comunidad in prison. She is a prison reform advocate and activist, and her work focuses on fighting for equal distribution and access to legal, human, civil, and social resources, regardless of one’s citizenship status, ethnicity, country of origin, gender, sexual orientation, level of education, economic situation, and spiritual practice.
