From Life Without Parole to Pardon Czar: The Powerful Testimony of Alice Johnson

from Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson

Dr. Ben Carson launches his “Faith in America” mini-series with special guest Alice Johnson, who was sentenced to life plus 25 years for a first-time, non-violent offense, then pardoned by President Trump. Alice shares her faith-filled upbringing in Jim Crow Mississippi, her decision while in prison to reject bitterness and forgive, and how she became a spiritual leader, mentor, and playwright for fellow inmates. She explains how forgiveness brought inner freedom before her physical release, and describes her current role as White House Pardon Czar, advocating for second chances. Together, she and Dr. Carson discuss hope, redemption, mercy, and unity through faith in Jesus Christ.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
