The Wall Behind and Beyond

SECOND CHANCE MONTH WRAP-UP

As we wrap up Second Chance Month, host Phillip A. Jones leads a powerful and thought-provoking conversation with a panel of change-makers to explore what a second chance truly means, personally, and systemically. Each panelists, shares heartfelt reflections on the importance of redemption, accountability, and the urgent need to reimagine justice for those who've been incarcerated. But let us not wait until next April to recognize humanity, offer grace, and extend opportunities. Justice-impacted individuals deserve ongoing support, not just seasonal acknowledgement.

Phillip A Jones x Veneta Sydnor "The People's Attorney "

I'm honored to have a candid conversation with Attorney Veneta L. Sydnor whose journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Veneta's brother was incarcerated at the tender age of 17. Tired of getting the run around by attorneys, Veneta went to law school and became an attorney so she could represent her brother. Sadly, he died of a heart attack while incarcerated. Veneta is now dedicating her career to represent and fight for justice for those caught up in the criminal legal system. Veneta shares her powerful story, shedding light on the personal and systemic challenges she faced, and her unwavering commitment to advocate for the rights of the incarcerated. This episode promises to be a moving testament to the strength of the human spirit and the enduring quest for justice.

His childhood friend was the shooter in the 2019 mass shooting in his Aurora, Illinois at Henry Pratt.
