More Than A FELON
Ladale Hayes
More Than A Felon is a show designed to broadcast the positive nature of ex-felons reentry back into society. Their stories are stories of success that the media and local law enforcement fail to highlight to members of the community. More Than A Felon will give its listeners a different ideology and perspective of ex-felons who are now productive citizens within their communities. There are ex-felons who have reduced the rate of recidivism by obtaining and maintaining steady employment and the story of their lives and how they want to pay their debt to society in their own way after release from custody. From behind the walls of a state penitentiary to obtaining college degrees, those that have become successful business owners right in the inner city and those changing the lives of others are all highlighted. The transparency of each journey is one for all to hear.

Financial Stability
After coming home from custody an ex-felon should come home with a financial mind set of getting a job. Having a job will enable you to not only provide for yourself and family, it will also allow you to apply for credit to boost your credit score for future home buying purchases or other items needed. The overall goal for all ex-felons should be owing your own business and allowing the money that you make to work for you.

Unfair Sentencing
In this episode of More Than A Felon we explore the unfairness with sentencing guidelines for police officers versus citizens. I speak on the bias and unfairness being shown to white protected officers whose accused of killing black men. How did they reach the leniency argument in a recent case, from capital one murder which carries a life sentence to voluntary manslaughter which carries a three year with half time plus time served for prior good time credit? It's all unfair and things need to change.

Justice Not Served
In this solo episode Ladale Hayes expresses his thoughts over the Derrick Chauvin case. It is in his opinion that justice was not served following the arrest and successful conviction. How is it that he did not receive the maximum sentence? Was it because he was a member of law enforcement that he was shown some grace during the penalty stage of the case? How is it that those that are not of law enforcement would have received the maximum penalty? Justice will never be served until law enforcement officers are held to the maximum penalty.

Ladale Hayes on Police Brutality
In this episode of More Than A Felon we want to address police brutality and the excessive and unwanted force being used against people of color. We want to know why is it happening so much and why have law makers failed to institute policies to protect citizens from suspected forms of civil rights violation. Law enforcement has violated public trust with rogue politics and racism. We need to know how can we change a broken system and gain trust of law enforcement and elected officials.
