S1E8: Getting Lost and Getting Found, with John Pace, Senior Reentry Coordinator for Youth Sentencing and Reentry Project

John Pace was just 17 years old when he pled guilty to felony murder and was sentenced to mandatory life without parole. John spent 31 years in prison until a change in law allowed for his release. John now works to impact the lives of others as a Senior Reentry Coordinator for YSRP and as an active member of the Inside-Out Program at Temple University. John has been featured in the Nation Magazine, CBS Sunday Morning and on NPR for his inspiring efforts and vision of justice. Join us as we talk about John's journey to prison and beyond, the importance of education, his upcoming documentary "Disrupted," and taking his first walk after prison to the local 7-11.
