Jessica Kent is a fellow ex-con who went Youtube viral when she shared a video about being pregnant and giving birth in prison. For months I have had requests to sit down with Jessica and have her share her story. I think as a society we have evolved in so many ways in regards to openly speaking about our addictions or mental health. But, when it comes to being a felon, I find most people instantly change their views about you when they find out that you’ve been to prison. I haven’t shared much about my experience in jail on the podcast before and I plan on doing it more now. In this podcast we discuss: - Giving birth in prison -Addiction -Childhood trauma -How poverty plays a role in the privilege debate -Bail reform -Systemic Racism -Mass incarceration -How difficult it is to rebuild your life as a felon   You can follow Jessica on Youtube: Jessica Kent Or on Instagram at: @JesKen12   You can follow along with us on Instagram: @recoveringfromreality @itsalexishaines @liferesetcourse   If you or someone you know needs addiction treatment please visit www.alorecovery.com   Cured Nutrition: Visit curednutrition.com and use code ALEXIS25 at checkout for 25% off   Sakara Visit www.sakara.com and use code “reality’ for 20% off your order   Produced by Dear Media
