Episode 14: Ken Oliver

A victim of California’s mass-incarcerating Three Strikes law, philanthropist Ken Oliver tells The Last Mile Radio the story of his conviction, sentencing, solitary confinement, and ultimate release after studying the law and fighting for his freedom. Hear how his self-education in prison enabled him to be a leader inside, and prepared him to become an advocate outside.

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.
