This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. "Since when is the rape or assault of any human being something to laugh about?'' Anthony Wyatt, Graterford State Prison resident, talks about the public misperception that prison inmates are less-than-human and the dehumanizing prejudice toward convicted persons.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
