Episode 18 - AJay and Ana

01/28/20 • 67 min

Our current prison system seems as if it’s designed to set newly-released offenders up for failure. The cost of daily drug screens, the rent to live in a halfway house, finding transportation, reporting to probation meetings—all of these tasks become monumental challenges when most offenders struggle to find work or reliable transportation. AJay and his wife Anna set out to change the outcome for these men and women by starting Made Up Mind (M.U.M.), an organization committed to helping ex-offenders develop honest accountability and provide them with the tools to build a new life.
