In this episode Donna and Jay talk to Carla about her service, MST, being incarcerated and finding purpose in her life. Due to her life experiences and personal knowledge of the judicial system, Carla brings an entirely different level of credibility to the conversation. Her mission to help others who are struggling both inside the prison walls and out is transparent and genuine.  Carla talks about the importance of the Veteran Treatment Court Program and how things might have been very different had she had this service available prior to her 20 year incarceration.
