Prison to Purpose: Juan Smith

Talk Dat NOLA’s “Prison to Purpose” series looks at the hurdles former inmates encountered once released from prison and their battle to steer clear of a life of crime.
In this episode, Casey Ferrand talks with Juan Smith about navigating the path to finding his purpose, which he said was a bit tricky and discouraging. It's a path he found himself on after being in and out of jail since the age of 11, and Smith said Goodwill’s Re-Integration Program (G.R.I.P.) is putting him on the right track. goodwillno.org/...
