Sharing Our Stories - Sean Marshall

Our guest is Sean Marshall from Colorado Springs,CO. Sean is in his recovery from being incarcerated for a string of robberies. Growing up he did everything to make his mom happy but he never got along with his Moms husband, which caused Sean to leave at a young age and get in to the wrong situations that led him to commiting crimes. The First sentencing he recieved at 18 years old was 10 years. And served 5 years of the 10. Not a good situation to step back into with his mother being un employed and his step dad filing for bankruptcy, Sean felt the need to step up and make things happen for his family, he did all he could going back to school and working 2 jobs but after only being out for 6 months he crumbled and started making the same mistakes as before when he first went to jail. Another string of robberies for Sean would result in him getting 45 years in prison! Sean finally realized in Solitary Confinement that he had to make a change. The day he went back in he found out he was going to be a dad to a little girl. And he was tired of upsetting his mother. After years of getting himself back. Organizations would reach out to Sean because of the work he was doing on the inside, one of them being Krysten M Nelson from the Sparrow Justice center. She and Govenor Polis were able to get a clemency for Josh which turned his 45 year sentence to a immediate release. Sean shares his story of incarceration and recovery, he now works as a staff member at The Denver Dream Center and gets to help people find the resources they need to be there best selves, his hope is for men and women struggling to get reintroduced back in to society after doing time in the pin.
