Ep 99: "Liberty & Leadership" with Commissioner Randall Liberty

On this milestone episode Nora and Craig are joined by a man who knows a thing or two about Stubborn Positivity! A real life character from SECOND CHANCES! Randall Liberty is the Maine Corrections Commissioner, the former Warden of Maine State Prison, the Sheriff of Kennebec county for nine years and an Army combat veteran. He is a three time recipient of the Maine Law Enforcement Officer of the year award, a graduate of the FBI National Academy, The National Sheriffs Leadership Institute and the New England Chiefs of Police Command Course. Just to name a few of his titles and accomplishments! As Commissioner, Randy implemented an operating philosophy known as the Maine Model of Corrections. Representing a radical shift from traditional models of incarceration, it focuses on rehabilitation, redemption, de-stigmatization, and humanization. Statewide recidivism rates have since dropped to twenty-one percent, well below the national average of sixty-five percent. On this episode Randy talks about his life of service and his most recent achievement, writing his first book LIBERTY'S PRISON: The Inmate's Son Who Radically Reformed An American Prison. This episode is a must for anyone searching for hope and an example of true leadership in public service.
