We trace Missy Young’s path from tech leader to prison advocate through grief, faith, and a mother’s fight for dignity and restoration. Her plan blends therapy, education, and jobs to help people heal inside and return ready to work and belong.

• how ambiguous loss reframes incarceration through a mother’s eyes
• why compassion and accountability can exist together
• the cost of indifference and conditions inside prisons
• prevention through mentoring at-risk youth and foster care
• three tiers of action: before, during, after prison
• private prisons, policy, and public will
• Grit and Mercy’s model: therapy, education, neurofeedback, hiring
• practical on-ramps for volunteers, donors, and employers
• faith foundations in Matthew 25 and Luke 6
• finding purpose and hope that sustains sobriety
