Collin Carter grew up in Utah. Without a father in the picture and a mother who struggled with her own demons, it wasn't long before bad influences led him down a path that ended in a 27 year prison stay. It was there, fifteen years into his incarceration that Collin caught the vision of his true potential. Whether you're struggling with a child that is making poor decisions, struggling to discover your own potential, or are just wanting to witness the true power of education and hope, you're going to want to listen as Collin shares his story on today's episode of All My Friends Are Felons.
