Opinion: After prison, it was hard to find work and start over. I now make it easier for others.
It’s been 22 years since I walked out of prison with a GED diploma, a handful of program certificates I earned “inside” and a mixture of fear and optimism about what was ahead of me. Looking back from the place where I now get to help people who are in the same position I was that day in March 2000, I was right to be afraid.
