Eddie will tell you, “I went to prison as a teenager and wasn’t released until I was 31.” He had no support to help him succeed in the real world before prison but was able to successfully reenter society and obtain what he’s obtained DUE TO his support system post prison. “Adjusting to society was completely strange, difficult, nerve-wracking!” Hear Eddie’s story! |
