Mental Health - Behind Bars

Kyle Hulbert joins us via telephone directly from his site of incarceration to share his personal perspective and reflections on life behind bars. This live discussion offers a stark, unfiltered look at the realities of the correctional system, moving beyond abstract policy debates to focus on the lived experience of an incarcerated individual and what mental health looks like in our modern carceral system.

Through this direct dialogue, Hulbert will discuss his journey, daily life, and the critical importance of maintaining human connection and purpose while serving time. This brief but impactful session invites listeners to engage in a candid conversation about accountability, personal growth, and the human faces existing within our prison systems today.

The Lorton Prison Museum featuring the Lucy Burns Gallery at the Workhouse Arts Center is proud to present the fourth season of Learning at Lunch, a series illuminating aspects of the former prison’s 91-year history. Each month, we invite an expert to tackle a topic related to our complicated past. After a brief 30-minute talk, presenters answer audience questions, and all attendees are invited to visit the museum following the program. Table seating provided and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch; snacks and beverages available for purchase in the W16 Visitor Center.

Free, no registration required.
