As you know, having a criminal record makes it difficult for men and women to find a good job. This is one of the primary reason why many ex-offenders end up going back to jail.
On this episode of The David Lee Show, owner and operator of Mckay Custom Clean, Blaine McKay talks about the issues that he faced after being incarcerated. With help from the DOC and DCF, Blaine provides you with his take on how these two agencies got it right! With a baby girl that was born while he was incarcerated, Blaine admits that he would not be where he’s at now if he didn’t receive support from the New Haven & Bridgeport communities. Blaine has a new lease on life, one that agencies and community leaders need to duplicate for others who deal with the issues associated with having a criminal record.

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
