In this powerful and overdue episode of Prison to Promise, recorded on March 11, 2025, I sit down with Phillip A. Jones—incarcerated but far from idle in his pursuit of justice, healing, and transformation. Due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts and production delays on my end, this important conversation did not air as originally intended. But I believe stories like Phillip’s have no expiration date, and I’m proud to finally bring it to you.

Phillip speaks with transparency, clarity, and wisdom about his life's early chapters that led to incarceration and the inner work that sparked a radical transformation behind bars. He shares how education and mentorship shaped his personal development, how he became a voice for justice reform, and why he founded Inside/Outside Consults, a platform to bridge the gap between incarceration and reentry through restorative practices.

Phillip also opens up about overcoming stigma, building trust post-conviction, and the power of second chances. This episode is a testament to human resilience and the belief that no one is defined solely by their past.

Tune in to hear how Phillip embodies the Prison to Promise philosophy—and why hope and purpose are never truly out of reach.
