Jene Interviews Two Former Kentucky Inmates: EP-372

Jene interviews two former Kentucky inmates he met while volunteer teaching at a Kentucky correctional facility. Tom Payne is a 7"2 former NBA basketball player with the Atlanta Hawks. He was the first African-Amercian recruited by the University of Kentucky and hall of fame coach Adolph Rupp. Incarcerated for 33 years he talks about trying to help others avoid the pitfalls and violence he committed against others. Darryll Davis is a former drug dealer who committed murder after a drug deal gone wrong. He spent 22 years in prison and has a similar mission of preventing at-risk youth becoming violent offenders and helping inmates better themselves, feeling redemption, and coming to terms with the effects of their actions. The two talk about their time in prison, their backstories and the work they are doing now.
