One peer’s journey from incarceration to restorative justice

Esplicito

The week on "I Live This," we speak with a restorative justice practitioner about the criminal legal system, race, houselessness, and more.

George Halfkenny is co-founder of THRIVE Communities. He came to peer support as a way to find purpose in his life and living experience.

George describes his upbringing, what led him to cycle in and out of the justice system, and how he began (and continues) his journey of recovery.

Special thanks go out to Vesper Moore, chief operating officer of the Kiva Centers, for leading this conversation.

Note/trigger warning: George mentions drug use and physical abuse in this conversation.
