Tune in as we discuss "from Incaceration 2 Incorporation" with Authors Randy Kearse and JM Benjamin.

From Incarceration 2 Incorporation is about the powerful journeys of two men who once lived lifestyles which send too many young men and women to prison or the graveyard. It is a heart-felt story about how two individuals refused to let society dictate their future in spite of their past. J.M. Benjamin, once considered a threat to his community served over 12 years total in state and federal prison. Randy Kearse, called a menace to society by the judge who gave him 15 years in federal prison served 13 years, 6 months, and 2 days. Combined they have given the system nearly 30 years of their lives. Meeting months prior to their release from confinement, they both possessed a strong determination, passion, and drive to succeed. With statistics showing that 1 in 3 ex-offenders will return to prison within three years after being released, Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Kearse vowed not to become a part of that statistic. Now, merely three years out of prison themselves, these men have proven that SUCCESS is attainable after incarceration.
