Lockdown 2 Legacy
Through Lockdown 2 Legacy I am striving to make a change in the community through mentorship, consulting, and advocacy. My goal is to help those impacted by incarceration and change the narrative of the culture and policies that increase the odds of recidivism. I will be discussing current topics that impact policies, interviewing formerly incarcerated individuals and family members of incarcerated people, and getting some input from those who hold positions within organizations that can make a change. I am also a formerly incarcerated individual, so I will be sharing my own first hand stories as well as having input from my wife/co-host and two of my currently incarcerated friends.
