Manage episode 291846315 series 2466708
Brandi Weiss was thrown into the dark caverns of the prison system when her two sons were incarcerated. Her eldest son went through tumultuous times in his youth and was in and out of prison for 7 years. He now is out of prison and living a successful and happy life. Her youngest son was sentenced at 17 years old to 25 years in prison for a heinous crime. He is one of many of incarcerated people with autism. Enter the world of the prison system from a mother's perspective of having one son thrive after prison and another who is sitting in prison with no support or compassion for his mental disability. Brandi could wallow in self-pity, but instead gives back by helping others who have loved ones in prison with mental disabilities.
