In the inaugural "Second Chance Mentality: First Chance Reality" essay series entry for #SecondChanceMonth, author Wesley M. Withers offers a compelling narrative from within the Varner Unit, Corcidy, AR, addressing the deep-seated societal stigma attached to the label "violent offender" and articulating his personal evolution towards rehabilitation through #education. This essay serves not only as a testament to individual resilience and the capacity for transformation but also as a critique of the systemic barriers faced by those seeking redemption.

At a time when many organizations are hesitant about user centered design (as noted by layoffs in #UXresearch and #design), I'm proud to work at an organization where research is foundational and is such a great partner to our design team.
