Abstract
Immersion programs foster social empathy. This study analyzed reflections from a social justice course taught inside a state prison. Findings suggest social empathy is a precursor to social justice advocacy. Themes included: student transformation, shared connection, and a desire to advocate for social justice and compassionate care for incarcerated individuals.
