San Quentin’s First Cal State Master’s Graduate Champions HealMeToo App to Address Gender Abuse, Violence, and Wrongful Convictions Through Ethical AI
SAN QUENTIN, CA — On July 25, 2025, San Quentin Rehabilitation Center (SQRC) will host a milestone graduation ceremony where dozens of incarcerated individuals will receive their GEDs and college degrees. Among them is Anand Jon Alexander, who will become the first person inside San Quentin to earn a master’s degree from a California State University campus.
Alexander completed his graduate work through a full scholarship from the Department of Rehabilitation and Project Rebound. His capstone project, the HealMeToo.app, is an ambitious initiative that aims to address gender abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and wrongful convictions by integrating trauma-informed design with ethical artificial intelligence (eAI).
