Peer-Led Recovery Inside Jails | Richmond News

Inside prison walls, a revolutionary recovery movement is taking root—thanks to the McShin Foundation’s peer-led addiction programs now active in three regional jails. Since launching its Judicial Recovery Program in 2018, nearly 400 people have walked through its doors, with a 70% success rate for those committing to six months of sobriety. Real stories like Kristin Mayton’s—once cycling through jail without support, now rebuilding family ties after release—show the life-changing power of this model. Beyond jail cells, McShin’s free podcast “Get in the Herd,” available on tablets in over 1,100 facilities, shares authentic recovery journeys to inspire hope. Their mission? Turn incarceration into a launchpad for sober, productive, and reunited lives—and they’re growing stronger with events like Recovery Fest to celebrate every step forward.
