Episode 54: John Koufos

Reentry Advocate and former attorney John Koufos, a long-time friend of The Last Mile, joins Chris and special guest host Beverly Parenti to tell his story. Hear how his reckoning with alcoholism was nearly fatal, and how his lived experience on both sides bolsters his work in support of criminal justice reform.

With a 75% post-incarceration employment rate and less than 5% recidivism rate, The Last Mile has created a new precedent for job opportunities and sustainable wages for justice-impacted individuals. By giving returned citizens proper training while incarcerated, job search support, and following up with support services, The Last Mile is moving the needle on Fair Chance employment.
