    <description><![CDATA[<p>This podcast is to amplify our mission for transparency: "We champion the cause of justice and rehabilitation, transforming lives and communities through unwavering advocacy for those affected by the prison system."</p><p>Hear firsthand accounts from those impacted by the Missouri Department of Corrections. We will speak with those still inside, giving them a chance to share their side of what led them to be in the system and what they have endured while inside. We will offer a platform for those trying to navigate life without their loved one present to express the far-reaching hold incarceration has on family units. We invite legislators and those involved in re-entry to discuss what advances or barriers they see. We welcome alternate perspectives from those who have worked in P&amp;P or MODOC, and what challenges they have encountered. Last but certainly not least, we share testimonies from individuals who have broken free from the system, offering hope and guidance for others!</p>]]></description>
