George Nolan | Trainer & Business Owner | Formerly Incarcerated

George offers a unique perspective for this episode. From serving as a marine, to serving seventeen years in prison, George was able to leave the prison walls two months prior to filming this episode. At a point in his incarceration, he began to passionately devote himself to change. Today he is a free man, and in this episode he is speaking to the Arizona Department of Corrections Correctional Officer Trainer Academy. He shares his story and how these future correctional officers can have a positive impact on those who are incarcerated.  It was a moving scene to witness George speaking to a room full of those who will go to work in the prison system.

Neighbor's Table Podcast aims to facilitate restorative conversation around the realities of criminal justice and mass incarceration. Our prayer is that the church in America would know how to enter into these conversations, and that movement would start with listening to our neighbors. Something powerful happens when people listen to one another. We hope that love of neighbor leads to advocacy for those that society often overlooks.

We offer a full day Liminal Learning experience that walks through the history of the criminal justice system, juxtaposed to the restorative justice model of Jesus. Learn more at: ⁠⁠neighbors-table.com⁠⁠
