Are prisons designed to punish, rehabilitate, or a combination of the two? At age 17, Chris Wilson was sentenced to life in prison, but he developed a list of goals – his “master plan” –  to help him become the man he knew he wanted to be, despite being behind bars. 16 years later, Chis was granted parole. Since then, he has dedicated his life to giving back to his community, building multiple businesses, and supporting returning citizens.

Chris joins Brent to discuss COVID-19 in prisons, prison culture, and Chris’ new book “The Master Plan: My journey from a life in prison to a life of purpose”.
