Listen Later

Associate Editor Mary Bandstra sits down with two members of the Saint Leonard’s Ministries leadership, Executive Director Zack Schrantz and Intake & Housing Manager David Harris, to discuss the work they do with people who have been impacted by incarceration. Zack, David, and Mary discuss collateral consequences of criminal convictions, strategies to reduce recidivism, and the healing power of community.
Saint Leonard’s Ministries is a social service agency in Chicago that has been providing holistic services to people who have been impacted by incarceration for seventy years. Recently, Loyola University Chicago School of law has partnered with Saint Leonard’s to provide a legal referral service to the Saint Leonard’s community.
