In this conversation, I sit down with Jesse Crosson as he shares his journey from a troubled youth spiraling into addiction and crime to finding solace and self-discovery during his time in prison. Jesse spent 19 years locked up, and discusses the tension and violence that permeate prison life, the struggle for education, and the impact of a scarcity mentality on rehabilitation efforts. He reflects on his journey to freedom through education and mentorship, the emotional challenges of reentry into society, and the importance of community support. Jesse also highlights the transformative power of education in reducing recidivism and the need for systemic change in the prison system.
