S3 Ep04: “Her Life Was Saved in Prison”

 

At age fifteen, Amanda began drinking alcohol, which started her on a destructive path toward addiction, homelessness and dangerous relationships that lasted many years and led to her arrest and conviction for the part she played in an armed robbery.

Amanda was sent to prison for her crime and it was there, behind bars, that she found hope, which ultimately changed the course of her life. Hear her inspirational story and how she now counsels women and men to turn away from the harmful path she had taken earlier in her life.
