Building Community Leaders

The day you walk out of prison on early release from a ten-year sentence, you feel free.  That’s what Lee thought.  Not just free of prison, but of some of the other problems that had plagued him – cocaine, marijuana, alcohol.  He had spent years in the prison’s Alcoholics Anonymous program and even become a peer educator teaching fellow inmates about HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis.
