Episode 66 - Bullied Behind Bars

Today I'm joined by Matt Melvin, author of the book 'Bullied Behind Bars: A Gay Christian Trump Supporter Goes to Prison' - a story of consequences, wrestling with difficult emotions, a critique of the justice system and redemption.As you can imagine with such a title, there is a great deal to the story of Matt's life from his childhood growing up lonely in a small town, an adult diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome, a passion for selling and a great deal more.Matt details his two visits to prison, small town corruption, a brutal rape in prison and his inner work that - along with his faith in Christianity - brought about a change in his life as well as a desire to support positive changes in society and the hope to deter young people from engaging in offending, by social activism and public speaking.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Matt's work on the links below:Bullied Behind Bars: A Gay Christian Trump Supporter Goes To Prison | prison reformInstagramMatthew Melvin | World Class Speakers & Entertainers
