"Find an accepted social paradigm and then bust through it and say, 'How can we do this differently and turn it upside down?' So instead of saying, 'No we will not hire felons,' I said, 'No, we will only hire felons.'" This is Margo Walsh, the founder of MaineWorks. With a mission to provide an alternative to the exploitative day-labor default that so many previously incarcerated people fall into, Margo started the first-ever company that provides full-time work with benefits to ex-felons. In doing so, she has created a community that is rooted in hope. She has given a second chance to people who are so often stigmatized and stamped by their crimes for life.
