You don't wan't to miss this, be sure to like and subscribe for updates and more episodes like this one! Founder Jon Ponder found himself returning to his community after spending time in prison and experienced firsthand the same challenges most face when they are released. He realized there was a lack of long-term support and guidance for those who learned from their mistakes and had a genuine desire to change the direction of their lives. From his personal experience and his passion to help those facing the same challenges he overcame, HOPE for Prisoners was born. The success of our clients is the result of their long-term commitment and relationship with their mentors. What makes Hope for Prisoners different from other organizations is its partnership with local law enforcement. This helps clients to understand the role of law enforcement in the community. This understanding helps clients overcome their fear of police and build respect for law enforcement.

0:00.0	You can go have kids. You can go do whatever it is. Doesn't matter an age. And I feel like that holds a lot of people back thinking I'm running out of time. When in reality, when you get out of here, you can make up for all the time. And it's just a matter of how you make up for it. So write the letters to your kids.

1:27.2	Because you don't deserve that.
1:29.9	And I guess, John, come on.
1:32.1	We'll do the podcast now because I'm going to make myself proud of a day.
