In this compelling episode of The Path Forward, host Augie sits down with Marlon Chamberlain, the inspirational leader of the Illinois Coalition to End Permanent Punishment.

Marlon's story begins in the streets of Chicago, where a turbulent upbringing led him down a challenging path. After facing a 20-year federal prison sentence, he entered incarceration with a transformed mindset, viewing his arrest as a release from a lifestyle he no longer wanted. Marlon became a sponge for knowledge. As he invested in his personal development, he emerged as a leader within the prison community.

Marlon now dedicates himself to advocating for legislative changes, shedding light on the hundreds of laws that hinder formerly incarcerated individuals from rebuilding their lives.
