"Lock him up, and throw away the key. Show no sympathy for hardened criminals - there is no hope." That's been the rallying cry among many, for decades, in our country. There's only one problem with this philosophy. It doesn't work! Today's guest - Dean Williams - Director of Colorado Department of Corrections - implemented a fundamentally different vision during his four-year tenure - one that embraced humanity, hope, and even vulnerability.
The results are nothing short of amazing. It's one of the most impressive cultural transformation initiatives in the history of Colorado - public or private - and required incredible leadership skills to bring to life. Listening to the stories of the formerly incarcerated - like this one from Bernard Hurley - are truly inspirational and settle the debate once and for all - yes indeed, there are second chances in this country.
