Recommendation

Catherine Hoke, a former venture capitalist turned crusader for social change, explains how entrepreneurship can help solve a weighty social problem: high recidivism rates in the US prison system. She understands the importance of second chances and believes society must not define people by their worst deeds. getAbstract recommends her courageous, honest and deeply personal talk for those seeking entrepreneurial and philanthropic inspiration.

Take-Aways

  • Everyone, including those with a criminal history, deserves a second chance.
  • The enduring stigma of a criminal record contributes to a revolving-door effect upon release from prison: The vast majority of those released return within five years.
  • The social stigma harms not just rehabilitation efforts but future generations: Children with parents in prison are highly likely to become incarcerated themselves.
