Stay Free Forever

Whenever a person is let out of jail or prison, what they typically hear from staff is the admonition, \"Don't come back!\". When I worked as a corrections and programs officer in state prison, I always said, \"Stay free forever!\". I believe in the power of positive thinking and in the power of words.

This podcast reveals specific ways to stay free forever as told by women and men who are doing just that. And you must know it's a process, not an event. Or, I may chat with a judge or a teacher or other professional who believes in peoples' abilities to correct their own thinking, right their own ships and walk a new path that is clearly different from the one that took them to incarceration in the first place.

Please join us each month as we seek to spread the good word about all the ways one can choose to adapt and thrive. It can be done despite all of the judgment, obstacles, loneliness, temptations and envy, yes, envy, that face the person who steps away from the shadows of their former risky thinking and behaviors and into the blue skies and sunlight of freedom on one's own new terms.
