47 Year Fight for Freedom
This episode of Freedom From Within features an interview with Ronnie Carrasquillo, who spent over 47 years incarcerated before experiencing a complete life transformation. Ronnie's insights into the power of personal transformation and the need for hands-on support in prisons are highlighted, emphasizing the positive impact of faith-based programs and the potential for collaboration between different networks to effect change.
Bridge to 2nd Chances
We welcome to the podcast Freedom From Within's Re-entry Advocate, Cheryl Stoval
With 20 years of a decorated background in conflict management, diversity advocacy, and strategic leadership development for the United States Army and the Corp of Engineers. Our guest today is all of that and more! She is the most recent addition to Freedom From Within's volunteer group, and we expect that as the first re-entry advocate, she will be the bridge for many of our graduates as they transition from incarceration to integration in communities as free men. Here from Cheryl as she shares her vision to be the bridge to 2nd Chances.

From Prison to Purpose
""Housing and employment," replied Jason, highlighting the significant challenges faced by individuals reintegrating into society after incarceration. Jason's story on the FFW podcast (Season 2, Episode 02), sheds light on how the Freedom from Within program is a beacon of hope, offering both assistance and a renewed sense of possibility.
For individuals like Jason, finding suitable housing post-prison is daunting, with stigma leading to outright rejections and perpetuating cycles of instability. Securing stable employment is equally challenging due to preconceived notions, further marginalizing those seeking a fresh start.
The journey from prison to freedom involves critical challenges, especially in securing housing and employment. These aren't just logistical hurdles; they are crucial elements for breaking free from the cycle of incarceration.
We are actively pursuing solutions to support those reintegrating into society, and your support is key to achieving meaningful change. Partner with Freedom From Within to be a driving force for change, helping individuals successfully re-enter society.
Your support, through donations or providing housing and employment solutions, can profoundly impact lives.

Believe Success
"Today, we're shining a spotlight on the incredible impact of the Freedom From Within program and the inspiring stories of its graduates.
In Season 2, Episode 1 of the Freedom From Within Podcast, Troy, a graduate of the program, shares his story of post-release life.
Troy's words testify to the positive transformation that can occur when individuals are given the tools, support, and opportunities to reintegrate into society.
Troy expresses not just gratitude for freedom but also a profound sense of joy and fulfillment in the 14 months since his release.
Freedom From Within is on a mission to empower incarcerated men in prisons to realize the masterpiece they were created to be. The programs we host goes beyond providing a second chance; it fosters an environment where individuals like Troy can rebuild their lives, pursue their dreams, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Supporting programs like Freedom From Within is not just about helping those who were incarcerated; it's an investment in building a stronger, more compassionate society. When individuals like Troy are given the resources they need to succeed, the benefits extend far beyond the individual. Families are reunited, communities thrive, and society as a whole becomes more resilient.
As we celebrate the success of Troy, let's remember that their story is just one among many. By amplifying these voices, we contribute to changing perceptions and dismantling the barriers that individuals face after incarceration.
