Ndume Olatushani

Disrupting the Cradle to Prison Pipeline
​

Ndume Olatushani is an artist, organizer, and a passionate advocate for justice. The American incarceration system will imprison 1 in 3 Black males during their lifetime, and it has become Ndume’s mission to change the course for thousands of children and people of color. His Stations installation “Disturbing the Cradle to Prison Pipeline,” is a reflection of this continued fight.

The passion reflected in his art comes from a place of experience. Ndume was imprisoned for 28 years, 20 of those years on death row, for a crime that he did not commit. He became a self-taught fine artist while in prison and is now using his gift to give back to the community. Ndume travels the world invoking deep thought and influencing thousands by displaying his art, and fights to change justice policies as a member of the Children’s Defense Fund organizing team.

“I feel strongly about not forgetting all the men I left behind in prison. I am deeply committed to working for criminal justice reform. The work [I and my coworkers are] doing to challenge policies resulting in the mass incarceration of people of color and especially the zero tolerance policies leading to the criminalization of our children is incredibly important to me and it should be to all of us. I witnessed what the policies of mass incarceration have done to generations and we don’t have to wonder about its effects on our future,” Ndume Olatushani, as told to Huffington P
ost.
