For those that may be looking for it (and I might have missed them saying the name of it), the documentary is called "The Work". There's also another great documentary called "The Wisdom of Trauma" based around Dr. Gabor Mate's work that includes a highlight of a similar program (that I just found out that Eldra is a Compassion Ambassador for) called Compassion Prison Project.
I watched The Work last night after this interview. It’s awesome!!
Kindly share the link for The Work
This channel has become my second home. I look forwad to Mondays. Your conversations resonate with my soul. I learn so much from you. I love it here
Wow, that's so wonderful to hear. Thank you for being here.
What sort of research projects will you do as a group of three individuals since your shows are guest free for next year 2024 ?
Thank you for your interview with Richard V Reeves. ❤❤❤❤❤
I got emotional during the whole show thinking of the gift that you Mr Eldra Jackson III are to the world and that we could have been prevented from. Thank you manenough. I just added another HERO to my list .
I felt this conversation on a deeper level. He is a truly reformed man and you can really feel how soul centred he is.
This is a great example of how we all have goodness within us nomatter what we have done. For real we are not our past neither should we be defined by our flaws as we are here to learn and evolve and our experiences play that role of directing us towards becoming our best selves.
We completely agree. Thank you so much.
Thanks to this podcast and especially to this episode, my whole world is now upside down. I didn’t know that through a podcast I could learn about every single thing that means in this life. Guys, you are bringing into this world so much love, awareness, healing and kindness that leaves me amazed and joyful, happy and deeply touched. Thank you all for this lifelong journey inside human existence and beauty. Love you all! ❤️😘🫂
Wow, thank you for sharing. It's wonderful to know that this affected you so deeply. Eldra has a way of doing that.
Seeing prison as trauma centres for those who need it the most was such a beautiful and better way of seeing and working towards making prions a place that facilitates exactly that. Such an educational and so desperately needed conversation
Well said. Eldra's life work is so important.
I wanted to both hug and applaud this amazing man!! Hugs from Holland
My favorite episode! Thank you so much for bringing Eldra Jackson on your show. ❤️🙏
This conversation was so powerful and transformative. So many gut punches of wisdom.
I have to say that I started to cry when I heard Jamey Heath say that he would make a point to not just comment on a woman being pretty, and that he made sure that his sons would read a book written by a women, etc., so that they would know that women are more than just sex objects. Thank you! Thank you all for what you are doing
Thank YOU for being here! Glad this resonated.
Mr Eldra Jackson III is opening up his heart wide to help others wholeheartedly . He has a vocational calling to talk about his strory well enough that will not go out of style nor fashion. Now is the time to say Thank you for listening.
A great follow up to this would be to look at existing successful models of prison systems, particularly the radical example of Norway, and the incredible example that offers for redemption, healing, and truly treating prisoners with respect and dignity. Thanks for your work, great guest!
That's a great idea. We will remain focused on individual(s) and their journeys in each episode, so perhaps we will find a guest from outside of the US that will help us explore those other models. Thank you.
Not sure you will read this, as it is a year later.
Regarding interviews with DOC (department of corrections)-I recently learned that Washington State DOC toured some facilities in Norway. Christopher Poulos is a possible someone who you could connect with to learn more.
Thank you all for your ‘work’, Eldra is a special human with a special calling. May he and your work bless all who choose to hear. ❤️
Eldra is such a beautiful person… as someone who is very passionate about prison reform, i connected to this on such a personal level. i got emotional, frustrated, sad, happy during this and it is definitely my favourite episode yet. thank u so much Justin for creating this podcast, and thank u to everyone who participates in it. we need this🤍
Again, a deep grateful drink of water. Lightbulbs the whole time! I want to watch this documentary today.
So beautiful!!! Love love love this episode.... Accountability with work of improvement is so great
There is a serious challenge for me to open up my heart wide because Man Enough Podcasts are really educational in connection to personal learning Heartfelt gratitude and investment matters. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such profound narrative, the whole dialogue was so intentional, it really allow me to look within… 🥺🥺uffff what a blessing…
The last two hadn't clicked with me as much as usual, but this one? Damn impressive show! Thanks for the intro to Eldra, Man Enough team. ❤
Me too
So glad to hear that. The episodes are so different - some will resonate, others won't, as it's so personal to your own journey.
That's what I'm talking about!!! What a gorgeous gorgeous humble man!!! I noticed I kept sighing alot during this conversation, my Soul was deeply satisfied, what a world it would be to live in if all men were like him. How safe all women would feel. Thank you for your wonderful choices of guests, I'm learning about new people. I will go look him up, I want to find out how his re-entry was into the world, when it was, if he had PTSD. I'm sure he is grateful everyday that it took prison to get his life on track, God had huge plans for him in this world. I have followed Damien Echols for years and years, he was on death row for 18 years for a crime he didnt commit, and he found himself in the process of having to survive prison. Such huge transformations.
Wow. This deep, beautiful,authentic conversation was very emotional. Eldra a humble soul.I loved when he said, it take's a village to raise a child. Thank you all❤.
Great work old friend 👏. I'm so proud of you. Its been a long time since I've talked to you or seen you. Its been a struggle for you my brother and I'm glad to see you rise. Keep up the great work. Love you brother
Feeding the algorithm by commenting, don't stop posting this is amazing
Ha thanks for the help.
I heard Liz Plank talk about her ideas in her book entitled For the Love of Men in audio book app. Wholehearted compassion is written prose of Mercy in action this sort of educational work is priceless. A Well written book does not go out fashion . ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, this was and incredible episode. He spread her own wisdom by his experience... I'm so grateful for you guys, share this... thanks Eldra, your an amazing human, and you care🤍👏
thank you for giving us this. I've never knew about his story but here I am watching the doc and his talk tal. jus an amazing human being
really appreciated this episode. thank you eldra, jamey, justin, and liz.
Accountability is so hard for me. :( but I will say this episode brought me to happy tears. I’m just so happy to be alive during a time like this where people can have these types of conversations ❤️
Same! His journey and life's work are an inspiration. Have you seen his Ted Talk?
@@WeAreManEnough I have not but I want to! Thanks for the recommendation 🤓

Learned so much today. Thank you 😊
“I had been in ‘prison’ since I was a youngster, being in the hole was a cakewalk”. Eldra Jackson III
Doesn’t take bars to be in prison.
God bless all who are in ‘bondage’.
Is unexplainable what I feel every time I hear this episodes but especially this one 🙌 what you people are doing is so important I know that what I’m going to ask is to much but I wish this episodes can have subtitles in Spanish I truly wish Spanish community can see this o gosh we need our mens listen to this
Hi Juliana, you can view every episode with Spanish subtitles. Just click the gear icon at the bottom of the video player, then Subtitles, then "Autotranslate", and then select Spanish. Enjoy!
Woooow👏👏👏.
Such an eye opening way to look at prison; as trauma centres. And it's true, isolation does more damage than good. It should be about healing like Justin said.
Once again, this podcast delivered. Thank you guys
Another thought-provoking, brutally honest, and powerful episode. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Wow..I Truely think he had an Gaurdian Angel with him while he was going through his hell.And therefore was able to come out into the light after all his darkness.🙏🙏
Hhhhmmm all I see is a beautiful soul in today’s guest. Lovely guys well done.
Wow, what an amazing episode, i dont have words to describe it... It really impacts me. I didnt know anything about mr.Eldra and his story and, i just feel that he is an amazing, beautiful, well articulated person. It was a pleasure listening his words and learning from them.
As always, thank you so much for your work. Maybe some episodes will impact less than others for whatever reason, but i really appreciate your work, it inspires me in a deep way. Thank you man enought team!
PD: I dont know why because im deaf/hard of hearing but, i really like listening justin say "This is man enough podcast". Maybe its because the tone of his voice? I like when he say 'podcast', its so cool. I dont know, this is weird, but i just want to share it, sorry. Dont block me, please! Hahahahaha
I love this podcast. Thank you for helping us to stretch and grow.
Thank you for joining us in these conversations! So much knowledge and power to share with each other.
Loving conversation!🙏🏽 Liz, I can see and feel that you are not really oké, share your feelings! I know it's not easy, but that is also what you expact men to do..It would make you more credible. Lots of love Richelle
In one of the episodes, Liz had mentioned it would be great to have a sort of recovery program for toxic masculinity. And since I can't remember where that was, I thought I'd share a discovery I made here, since it started with Eldra's episode.
A good bit of the structure and group work that we see in "The Work" stemmed from an original program that is indeed a recovery program for toxic masculinity and it's called The ManKind Project.
There are a number of paid programs they have but the very cool part is that there are a couple of virtual meetings a week that are very much doing the deep Men's Work that Eldra discusses here.
I just started attending a couple of weeks ago and I can not recommend it enough for men who discuss the Man Box-type issues that this show discusses so openly.
Hope this info helps someone else out there!
Thanks, Ron. So happy you're having a positive experience with ManKind. There are a number of different approaches to this desire to connect amongst men and we will be helping to provide more resources and guidance in 2022 for our community to find them. Appreciate you sharing this so that people can learn from your experiences. Please keep us posted on how it goes as you spend more time in it.
@@WeAreManEnough Really looking forward to seeing what you all share resource-wise as well!
@@ronsparkman4913 thanks for your patience. We'll get there soon. :)
Mr . Jackson is doing human work not prison work
Human work is about rehabilitation and spiritual healing. One man or woman at a time . The circle group of people who are looking for healing first . Then opportunities for employment . Then afterwards successful Men and Women helped others from a caring and compassionate place.
amazing conversation. inspiring human being. so deep, so humble, so fucking human... made me cry!
i wanted to suggest another potential guest for your podcast who, i feel, could contribute to your conversations in meaningful ways: matt brown - author of "she is not your rehab" from new zewland. i'd love to hear you guys talk together. he is walking the walk and helping other men do the same. i'm sure liz would be fire for this one!
oh, i've fallen into the trap myself. he wrote the book together with his wife sarah, soooo here my delayed credits to her as well! maybe have them both on your podcast? pretty pleaaaaaase! :)
Thanks for another great rec! Eldra truly is all those things-- we're crying right with you.
