Prison, Recidivism & Leadership

Justin and Preston sit down with Cheryl Morris. Cheryl worked with the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision for three decades in both Central Office, minimum, medium and maximum security prisons. 

Cheryl started as a corrections counselor and rose through the ranks as a Senior Counselor at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Assistant Director for Guidance and Counseling as well as Director of Ministerial, Family and Volunteer Services. 

In addition to creating programs and trainings for both staff and justice impacted individuals, Cheryl is also a skilled policy developer and reentry services architect. Since retiring, she is now a criminal justice consultant helping advocates to advance their mission in the most impactful manner as possible.

We speak on recidivism and what can be done to correct it. We also discuss prison programs that benefit those incarcerated. We also speak on leadership within the legal system.
