The Show N Prove prison reform podcast is built on the thing most coverage of this subject lacks: first-hand experience. Conversations with people who have been incarcerated, come home, and rebuilt — plus the practitioners, families and employers who were part of that.
Research tells you that 66% of people released from state prisons are rearrested within three years, and that risk peaks in the first year (Bureau of Justice Statistics). What it does not tell you is what that year feels like, or what made the difference for the people who got through it. That is what these conversations are for.
What We Cover
- The first ninety days after release — and why they decide so much
- Employment and how people handle disclosing a record
- Housing, the barrier most people underestimate
- Families — what they carry, and what helps
- Building a business with a record
- Mentorship and why lived experience changes the conversation
If you have a story worth telling, we would like to hear it — see success stories for how we handle consent and control.
