Marci Marie Simmons was from a good upbringing, and had a good job. She had made a few wrong turns along the way but was doing well. After realizing the company she was working for was taking part in some not so above board accounting, Marci started doing some 'creative accounting' of her own. So, she had found a way to steal funds on a regular basis, and had become addicted to 'not getting caught'. She knew she had to stop, but couldn't. Listen to this amazing episode as we hear in detail about the day her world came crashing down. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for in 2011 for stealing a total of $367k. Although a lot, the punishment did not ,match the crime, and she was made an example of, even spending time in solitary confinement. She was released on parole in March 2021. Never a violent offender in or out of custody, she is now on a mission to help other female inmates who often suffer the same fate in the USA's corrupt and failed justice system. Wow. What an episode.

NOTE: Luke and Kyle are on vacation, so we have left you with one of our most listened to episodes from 2 years ago, and will be back next week!
It was just an ordinary day, Rhiannon was washing her car in broad daylight, she was 19 years old. Moments later she would be kidnapped at knife point and put though a harrowing ordeal including physical and sexual assault. 20 years later, she is telling her story, to help others realize that they too can reclaim their lives. Thank you, Rhiannon, for this brave and extraordinary chat with us.
