Listen in to this wonderful interview, as we talk with Brian Cole, Director of the Shawnee County Department of Corrections. Brian shares about his personal path into the world of corrections, and it's clear that his heart beats for change and dignity within the system. We discuss the innovative steps to prioritize rehabilitation and the essential role community partnerships play in supporting inmates' reintegration into society. Our discussion illuminates how these programs extend a helping hand beyond the jail walls, ensuring that when inmates step back into the community, they're welcomed with opportunities rather than obstacles.

But the conversation doesn't stop at redemption and second chances. We also tackle the stark realities that Brian and his team face daily, from managing a diverse inmate population to improving mental health services within the confines of a correctional facility. The chapter on compassion and justice in the community offers a candid look into the balance of justice and reconciliation, and the shared responsibilities in working with marginalized populations. Brian's unwavering commitment shines as a beacon of hope.
