Join us in this episode for a conversation with Michael Hoover. Michael was recently granted clemencyยญโfrom a life prison sentence without chance of paroleโby the Governor of the State of Washington.
ย
Michael's is a cautionary tale...on remaining anchored to place; and to people. An upbringing of affluence in Woodway, Washington failed to protect Michael from childhood abuse; devolving into addiction, homelessness, and crime, for which he paid through two decades behind bars.ย
ย
Michael will also share details aboutย Stone Bridge Re-entry Services, which he founded in Asotin, WAย with his wife Stephanie, so that they might guide others from incarceration to emancipation. ย
"I went from one second of being buried under the prison to now I have this paper in my hand that says I'm going to be free someday."~Michael Hoover
