About this episode
Josh Pritchett spent his adolescent years fighting for a sense of belonging — and catching criminal charges along the way. After multiple stints in prison, Josh has a chance encounter that changes his outlook on life. He left prison for the last time and applied to UVA, pursuing a finance degree. While there, Josh took advantage of a program that sent him back to prison — but this time as a volunteer, not an inmate.
