In this episode I talk with Joe T Baker III.  His bio reads as this: "10 years in prison, cellmate was biological FATHER, in and out of Juvenile from 15 to 18 and still TMH saved me."  In this episode he shares what kind of environment he grew up in, how he found himself down the same path as other family members, and what the turning point was that he gave his life to God.  We also discuss what prison does to a person mentally, the need for prison reform,  and what advice he has for youth today.
