Episode 103: Vicki DeMoney on Empowering Women Post-Incarceration | HEAL, HOPE, HELP at Crossroads Ministries

Join hosts Drew Hassin and David Sugg (with special guest co-host Jordan Butler stepping in while Drew away!) for a powerful episode of the Recovery Lab Podcast as they welcome Vicki DeMoney, the executive director from Crossroads Ministries—a 501(c)3 non-profit celebrating 10 years of transforming lives for women rebuilding after incarceration. Women are the fastest-growing population in the criminal justice system, with a staggering 757% increase in incarceration rates from 1977–2004 (PEW Center) and numbers doubling in the 1990s (Beck, 2000). Today, 68 out of every 100,000 U.S. women are behind bars. Crossroads Ministries addresses this crisis by providing education, life skills, and a safe shelter for women battling addiction, homelessness, and the trauma of prison. In this episode, Vicki breaks down Crossroads’ three pillars:
✨ HELP: Addressing urgent needs like housing and stability.
✨ HEAL: Small-group therapy, job training, and restoring family bonds.
✨ HOPE: Faith-based support to rebuild self-worth and purpose. Discover how Crossroads empowers women to reclaim their lives and find community love—proving that second chances change futures. Tune in for:
