Transforming Incarceration: Education and Hope for a Better Future
About this episode
In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank sits down with Kentucky Jailer Teddy Lacy and Deputy Jailer Cory Graham to discuss their innovative program aimed at transforming the lives of inmates. By partnering with a local college, they offer incarcerated individuals three educational pathways: earning a GED, pursuing a career path, or learning a trade.
This initiative not only equips inmates with valuable skills for employment post-release but also addresses recidivism, positively impacting the community and reuniting families. Teddy and Cory share inspiring stories of success and the profound economic and social benefits of the program.
