Special Guest: Cheryl "Shy" Hillman the Founder and Host of Pure-Prison, with her daughter, Ashley joining as Co-Host. A little bit about her... For almost ten years I was housed in the most appalling conditions, guarded by power hungry people who often had no business in a position of authority. The struggles that I faced paled in comparison to almost everyone around me... Now, don't get me wrong it wasn't easy by a long shot. I had some advantages, yet many disadvantages as well... Some of them I wasn't even aware of. To hear more of her story please turn in Wednesday September 1 at 2:30CST. You don't want to miss this...

Everybody Has A Story Special Guest: Cynetra Freeman "Mississippi ReEntry" faced a 3 year minimum mandatory sentence for Trafficking Heron in 2010. While incarcerated, she helped her public defender fight her case almost to the point of representing herself. Once the case was resolved and she was released from the local jail, Cynetra quickly realized the importance of having post-release services available to help her reestablish herself other than probation services. She was able to find her way and reestablished herself back into her community after one year. While researching ways to start a nonprofit and learning about reentry services and how she could benefit her community, she became ill with Chronic End Stage Renal Kidney Disease in 2012 which required her to be on dialysis 3 times a week therefore, she placed her dream on hold to focus on her health. Once her health began to decline even more and she came to the ultimate decision to return back to Mississippi where her mother and step-father lived. During her venture in Mississippi, she regained her health and strength and began refocusing on her dream: to start a nonprofit with a mission to help those who have been affected by incarceration reenter back into society. On April 24, 2017, Cynetra filed the necessary paperwork with the Mississippi Secretary of State to officially form MS Reentry.
