Hey Timbo. Yet another great episode – love hearing about social enterprises like this that also make $. Check out this cool example of something similar (but different) here in Australia- YMCAs Bridge Project which creates employment links for young ex offenders here in Australia. Almost zero reoffend when people take an interest in them as people. Amazing results

Do you have a link for Jess’ business that you mentioned? Couldn’t figure out if it was “saw collective” or something else?

Thanks for sharing, Stefan. What a great initiative. And thanks for your kind words re my show :
Thanks so much for covering this topic. I’m from Canada, but we constantly hear the issues with the US justice system – a system that discourages the incentives society needs to be safe and just – 22% of the world’s prisoners with only 4% of the world’s population and very unbalanced towards the marginalized. Any resources that help overcome this handicap is a blessing to the world. Takeaway – entrepreneurship and good marketing can help solve society’s ills. Thanks.
hey Tim, a good thought-provoking episode, nice to see someone helping people get back on their feet. In a former worklife I helped one of Victoria’s prisoner transition centres help place offenders into environments where they get work experience, so if any of your listeners are willing to support people getting their life back on track they can offer placement opportunities. The offenders are thoroughly screened, well supported by trained staff and want to change their lives. And the organisations/employers also get a lot of support from the centre. If anyone is interested they can contact the Judy Lazarus Transition Centre on

Thanks Dennis … and I concur wholeheartedly with your takeaways. Booms!
Thanks Justin, glad to share that contact. In a previous life I played a very small part in helping a young fella get back on his feet whilst still in detention. It was one of the most rewarding things I’d ever done.
Hey Justin!
Thanks for the appreciation of the project and it’s awesome to see you trying to do the same in the comments here. These individuals need a lot of help!
Yes Dennis, it is a very serious problem here and it’s amazing to me that more isn’t done to help treat/rehabilitate these individuals. I understand the need for punishment due to a crime, but much more should be spent on helping people after the punishment has been served.
Love that, Stefan! We have the YMCA here too, but I don’t see them being as proactive in helping rehabilitate as this initiative.
