In this powerful episode of the 4Ps Podcast, host Trunnis Goggins II dives deep into the realities of life after incarceration with special guests Misty James (Assistant Director) and Heather Bland (Reentry Case Manager) from New Leaf New Life, a Bloomington-based organization changing lives every day.

💡 Inspired by a conversation with men inside the Edinburgh Correctional Facility, Trunnis reflects on a question many returning citizens face:

⛓️ From Prison to Purpose – Why reentry is one of the biggest challenges people face after incarceration

📖 Stories of Transgression and Recovery – The bestselling book supporting the mission, with $2 of every copy donated directly to New Leaf New Life

👥 Real People, Real Impact – Misty and Heather share powerful stories of transformation, including a father who rebuilt his life and reconnected with his children

🏠 The Housing Crisis – How lack of stable housing keeps people trapped, and what New Leaf New Life is doing to change that

❤️ Recovery & Redemption – Addiction, support networks, peer recovery, faith, and community—multiple pathways toward healing

🤝 Community Matters – The power of partnering with landlords, employers, and local programs to remove barriers and create opportunities

Over 70% of people returning from incarceration are at risk of being re-arrested without proper support. This episode is a wake-up call—and a roadmap—showing what real reintegration looks like when compassion meets structure.
