What does transformation look like when you get locked up for years with no hope of getting out? Listen to the inspiring story of Fernando Torres, a convict who was involved in a life of crime but turned his life around after knowing the power of Jesus Christ. Fernando tells how he lived a life of violent crime but decided to adopt a positive mindset which helped him to go through a new learning experience including earning Adult Basic Education, GDE alongside a degree. Fernando’s story is a reminder for all of us that no matter our current situations, we need to learn from our experiences and strive to become better.

In this episode of 'A Prisoner's Pardon Podcast', host

Michi J. chats with Dori Maloney on why prison reforms are needed behind the

walls and the importance of supporting inmates in their course of reformation.

Dori is an ex-guard who shares her observations about the prison system and

explores how reforms can be implemented to assist inmates in becoming better

people in society. Dori explores rehabilitation programs, and education and how

they help inmates transition in society after serving their time. A good start

for prison reforms is educating inmates and introducing them to spirituality in

order to improve their relationship with God.

A Thanksgiving Pardon: The Story of Thanksgiving and the Act of Forgiveness

In this episode of 'A Prisoner's Pardon Podcast', host Michi J. discusses the tradition of Thanksgiving and its symbolic relevance to forgiveness and gratitude. The discussion covers the origin of the holiday, starting with the turkey pardoning tradition initiated by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, coinciding with the year of the Emancipation Proclamation. Michi J. encourages listeners to use Thanksgiving as a platform for forgiveness, seeing this act as a symbolic pardon akin to the pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkey. Emphasizing gratefulness beyond the holiday, the host suggests Thanksgiving should be a constant state of mind, inviting people to appreciate what they already have and find peace in it.

Do you know any police officers personally? What about a police cadet? Today's show features one of the best police cadets in the City of Milwaukee. His name is Jeremiah Lewis. This young man, in my estimation, has the potential to become chief. Why do I say that? I do because I've seen his passion for his family, his job and his community. He is the kind of officer that builds trust with people easily. I've watched him for a while. He is for real and believe me he is a treasure. Jeremiah is very active involved in the community and he's doing it way more than what's required of him. Today you will learn what police cadets have to do for training and you will hear how some work with ex-felons to understand the community and to establish relationships.

Guest: Police Cadet Jeremiah Lewis

Show Highlights:

· Why did he become a police officer?

· The culture of police training

· Police cadet training requirements

· Upcoming police & fire academy open house

· Cadet required community involvement

· The impact of Partners in Hope on police cadets

· Skydiving at The Leap of Faith Event

· The police welcomes the public to express their concerns

Have you ever heard of Black Privilege? If you have, do you agree or disagree? Well, this show may give you a different perspective. My guest, Pastor Robert Niefeldt talks about an article he wrote about what he feels to be black privilege. His article caused some ruckus because Pastor Niefeldt is white. "What does he know?" some thought. Well, during our chat, we talked about how he formed his opinion about black people having a certain privilege over most. I hope you take the time to listen to this episode and then form your own opinion about whether you think there's such a thing as black privilege.

Community Service is Key to Healthy Communities – Guest Eddie Moore

Eddie Moore is a retired Nursing Assistant and works now as a mentor for Partners in Hope in Wisconsin. After leaving prison, Eddie's Parole Agent referred him to Partners in Hope. He has never left. He's now a partner.

Whether you are involved in community service is a question on the Wisconsin Pardon Application. It's an important question that we talk about in this episode. In the end, we find that it's not just important for those seeking a pardon, but for all, as it builds healthy communities and reduces the rate of recidivism.

Show Highlights:

· Helping others is an opportunity

· Partners in Hope and its positive environment

· Men leaving prison getting needed support

· Community Service is an important question on Pardon Application

· Promotes Responsibility and Confidence

· The building of relationships between police and the community

· Building Communication Skills

· All community members should get involved
