On today's episode of Felony Friday host John Odermatt is joined by Aaron Kinzel. Aaron is a professor at the University of Michigan, a criminal justice reform advocate, and a formerly incarcerated individual. Aaron spent several months in juvenile detention facilities during his youth and nearly ten years straight in adult prisons.

Upon release from prison Aaron was able to leave the life of crime that he led as a young teenager behind. Aaron chose to pursue a future in higher education and community engagement to create safe neighborhoods and to assist the formerly incarcerated to become productive and law-abiding citizens.
