In the opening episode of Season 3, Amber and Jason speak with Nicole, a sixteen-year-old girl who authentically shares the experience of having her life turned upside-down at age twelve when her father was arrested, incarcerated and eventually placed on a public registry. Her journey winds from the initial shock, how she was treated at school, to visiting her father while he was incarcerated, to what happened when he was finally able to come home. She also covers how probation restrictions and public registration affect the entire family and what the adults dealing with children with incarcerated parents can do to help. Her most fervent wish in telling her story is to make sure that other kids facing this difficult road know that they are not alone.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/amplifiedvoices)

Lawyer Goes to Prison and Becomes a Minister Jeff Grant tells his story in two episodes. He was a lawyer who made some bad decisions. After becoming addicted to opioids, he committed crimes. Those crimes led to a fraud conviction. While in prison he had to humble himself. He got in shape. He focused on developing himself. When he returned home, Jeff went back to school. After several years, he earned a doctorate degree in divinity. Then he started helping others with his nonprofit. Today Jeff devotes his life to leading the Family Reentry nonprofit. He talks about struggles for many people who leave prison. Prepare for success before prison, in prison, and after prison. Learn how by listening to Jeff's story.

Jeff Grant Was a Lawyer who Went to Federal Prison Anyone can make decisions that can lead them down the path to prison. In today's Prison Professors podcast, we hear from Jeff Grant. Jeff built his career as a lawyer in New York City. During our podcast today, Jeff tells us how he built a career representing wealthy individuals and companies in real estate related transactions. He suffered an accident. While recuperating, he learned how to manipulate the medical profession to get more prescription medicine. He became addicted to opioids. As an addict, he began making bad decisions. Those bad decisions included commingling misappropriating funds. To cover up the crime, he looked for a loan. When filling out the paperwork for the loan, Jeff lied. Authorities began to investigate Jeff. In the podcast, he describes how he lived in denial. After a suicide attempt, he checked himself into a rehab center. And in time, he pleaded guilty to charges related to fraud. The guilty plea resulted in an 18-month federal prison term for Jeff. Jeff describes some of the challenges he faced. Authorities required Jeff to serve his sentence at the low-security federal prison in Allenwood. While he was there, Jeff had both successes and challenges. The salient points that I took away from his interview follow: Jeff prepared himself before surrendering to federal prison. Jeff became sober long before he surrendered to the Low-security Federal Prison in Allenwood. Jeff chose to pursue a new activity while in prison. He focused on exercise, fitness, and learning guitar. Jeff made a commitment to emerge better than when he went in. It's not easy to prepare for success after prison. But in this first of a two-part series, Jeff reveals his strategy. In the next episode, he talks about how he went on to earn a divinity degree, become a minister, and grew to lead the Family ReEntry nonprofit organization, with more than 100 employees.
