  <description>Men who find themselves trying to turn a new leaf following a life of crime often feel like they have limited options. It can be challenging when they are trying to change their identity and form healthy relationships. The recidivism rates for released prisoners in the United States of America is 60% compared with 50% in the United Kingdom and here in Canada the recidivism rate is roughly 35 percent for men and 20 percent for women. Therefore, when we formally incarcerated individual have people around them to mentor and support them while they out it offers them hope and this is what our guest today was able to provide on the streets of the UK. Joseph Mullings who was able to use his contacts in the Square Mile, in the UK to train young people in how to set up and run a business with one mentor advising them on what to do while stressing the importance of the work. He established a healthy place for them to discuss their fear and concerns with men that looked like them and offered them a fresh perspective. Mullings also provided workshops on how to run a business. A Family That Heals Together Podcast is a weekly conversation with Kyle Carter and Carole Sandy.
