213 year prison sentence- never gave up hope - Adam Clausen

What would be your mindset if your sentencing guideline was 8 years, and you receive a 213 year sentence? Meet Adam Clausen who had the "never give up" mindset to keep believing he was going to get out. He finally did after 20 years and it is one heck of a story! He transformed his life while in prison compiling an extensive list of "extraordinary and compelling" achievements that eventually earned him a "second chance" at life. None of this would have been possible without the help of his wife that he met in a chance meeting midway through his 20 year imprisonment. Ro, his wife, was able to connect Adam with one of the best known attorneys in the criminal justice arena, Shon Hopwood. Together, 20 years later, Adam walked out as a free man on compassionate release through the new language of Frist Step Act law. Adam has not stopped since he was released. He is doing impactful work with Social Purpose Corrections as the Director of Innovation and Social Impact. Adam's focus now is set on turning the corrections system upside down for the good with reentry.
