In today's episode Cassidy recounts her experience volunteering in prison with Defy Colorado, a non-profit organization that thinks that after people serve their time, they’ve repaid their debt to society and should be given the chance to start fresh. Defy’s entrepreneurial programs enable one of America’s largest forgotten communities to defy the odds. Defy equips them with new skills, new connections, and a new belief to match their new purpose, and succeed in their new life of economic independence.
The second half of today's part one episode of this two part series is with Stacey Putka, Executive Director of Defy Colorado. She sits down with Cassidy to discuss the realities of working within our prison system and what you can do to help.
