Lala Anthony brings hope and change to Rikers Island inmates

Lala Anthony brings hope and mentorship to young inmates at Rikers Island.

In an extraordinary effort to bring hope and support to inmates at Rikers Island, a notorious prison facility in New York, actress and activist Lala Anthony has launched a program called 360. The initiative aims to provide mentorship and re-entry skills to young men incarcerated at the facility, not just during the holiday season, but throughout the year.

The program specifically targets young adults aged 18 to 21, who make up about 10% of Rikers Island's incarcerated population. With the goal of helping these young men reintegrate successfully into society, Lala Anthony has become a beacon of hope for those who often feel hopeless.
