How One Redemption Story Can Change a Generation

Pamela Price Season 1 Episode 10

What if one redemption story could change the future for thousands of young people?

This week on Pamela Price Unfiltered, I'm joined by two extraordinary guests who know firsthand how powerful real redemption can be—and why the system wasn’t built for it.

Barbara Becnel—fearless journalist, advocate, and scholar—breaks down how her experience working with Stanley "Tookie" Williams showed her that redemption is not just possible, it’s necessary if we want to stop the cycle for future generations.

Antwon Cloird, founder of Men and Women of Purpose, shares his raw journey from addiction and incarceration to 20+ years of sobriety—and a lifetime spent helping others rebuild after the system tried to write them off.

This conversation is real, raw, and filled with lessons about recovery, resistance, and the revolutionary power of healing.

We’re diving deep into:

  • Why redemption threatens a system built to break people
  • How working with someone on death row can change a generation
  • The real barriers to successful reentry—and how we overcome them
  • Why healing and recovery are acts of resistance
  • What it truly means to create second chances that stick

If you care about justice, reentry, and building a future where no one is thrown away, this episode is for you.
