Episode 56: Building a Community for the Formerly Incarcerated with Guest Brian Scott
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Brian served 20 years in prison before being released in February of 2021. He founded OurJourney one year later because he realized that too many people return after incarceration without any support. In less than three years, OurJourney has grown into one of the premier statewide reentry organizations in North Carolina, forging partnerships with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, the North Carolina Department of Information Technology, Local Reentry Councils, LME/MCOs, and other stakeholders. Brian is often asked to speak around the state on issues related to reducing recidivism and criminal legal reform.
In addition to serving as OurJourney's Executive Director, Brian is also on the Advisory Board for the Building College-Community Partnerships for Reentry research project at Ithaka and is part of the cohort on Community Safety for the Duke North Carolina Leadership Forum.
