Lawyer and musician Danielle Ponder joins The Last Mile Radio to discuss criminal justice reform, how her brother’s incarceration inspired her to study and practice law, and her new career as a modern soul singer.
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.
