On this episode of The Wall Behind and Beyond, Phillip A. Jones had a candid conversation with Tionna Larry, a remarkable young woman who story embodies resilience and purpose. Incarcerated at a young age, Tionna faced challenges that could have broken her spirit, but instead, they fueled her determination to create change. Now, at just 24 years old, she ls leading impactful work to support individuals living with mental illness and advocating for those still behind bars. Her journey from prison to becoming a voice for the voiceless is both powerful and inspiring, a testament to what's possible when you refuse to let your past define your future.

Host Phillip A. Jones had a powerful conversation with Jessica Henry, J.D, professor, author, legal commentator, former public defender, and nationally recognized criminal justice expert. In this candid conversation, they unpack the realities of the criminal legal system, the cries of wrongful convictions, and the systemic mistreatment of people of color.

Host, Phillip A. Jones had a powerful conversation with guest, Travon McCoy, and inspiring voice who is shining beyond the walls of prison. As, I continue hosting The Wall Behind and Beyond, my mission goes beyond sharing my own story. It's about amplifying the voices of those who are working to change the criminal justice landscape, especially those who are still incarcerated, and are often overlooked. We must remember: it's not always about us. Sometimes, it's about making space for others who deserve a first or second chance. So, hats off to my fellow Baltimorean, Travon McCoy, who's not just talking the talk, he's walking the walk.
