In this episode of "The Human Challenge", an Amazon Music x ACAST Indie Podcast Amplifier, Vanessa sits down with Robert Gil Jr, Re-entry Manager at Prison Entrepreneurship Program in Houston, in this inspiring and vulnerable conversation to breakdown barriers for returning citizens. From drug dealer to case manager, Robert showcases his journey through incarceration, including personal revelations, post-release anxieties, and his continued support for returning citizens.
"You cannot spell community without unity," he says, highlighting the power of brotherhood he discovered while going through Prison Entrepreneurship Program as a returning citizen himself. Now, he supports these same people who are where he once was.
Prison Entrepreneurship Program offers boot camp and re-entry programs as proven solutions for preventing recidivism, maximizing self-sufficiency, and transforming broken lives. Their holistic approach to prison rehabilitation begins inside the prison and continues post-release. Learn more here: https://www.pep.org/
