E8: What If You Stumble?

In this startling series, prison reformer John Wareham and his team of ex-offenders show how to spot the invisible web of hidden influences that cause incarceration, and, then how to step into the sunlight, go home and stay home, and create the life of your dreams.

This episode shows how to overcome the syndrome of serial incarceration:

• how to sidestep the quicksand outside the prison gate;
• how to stay out of prison and never come back.

And, for politicians, prison officials and inmates alike, this episode shows why the recidivism rate for Eagles graduates has never risen above single digits.

Guests include include:

• a chronic recidivist who picked up on a lightbulb idea;
• a celebrated drug lord who couldn't live with criminal success;
• a hallowed Black Power leader with prison secrets to share;
• two poets with the wisest of words;
• and, a Doubting Thomas whose plaintiff words likely lurk in your brain, too.

If you’re in prison—or heading there or back—lie back and listen up . . .
