“2 things,,, the color of my skin, and the grace of god” Kool cat!! This man has a clear view of reality,,, keep in mind his statement about the “real hero here being the community”
@J Idowu yes and housing, job/income and healthcare. And prevention for future generations! And (expensive) prison doesn't work = proved, best for all to spend on prevention.
Beautiful story. My mom grew up on 11 Mile in Detroit. I grew up in Ohio. If you disliked this video and/or don't understand what is being done here, you're pretty lucky, count your blessings.
God bless the owner of Edwins. I am a Cleveland girl and can’t wait to check this place out. I am also passionate about prison reformation and will be donating to your six-month training, library, housing/life skills 🙏🏻
Re entry does begin in Ohio prisons its called Transitional Control. All this guy is saying is he offers his own service of re entry. He isn't saying Ohio prisons don't offer it. I had Transitional Control on my second number in Ohio
I miss Jeff Glor on the CBS Evening News so much but am happy that he is on CBS Saturday Morning and is doing wonderful stories like this. Thank you Jeff for doing stories that inspire us.
The real true meaning of a person with a truly big heart. Turning places n people that been where he been thru n walk live their shoe, n make them bright again. Big hearted truly realest of anybody I know. You can tell that his prison mind set is still in him , "On quote" on saying "I won't take any Government Money" .. . but help within his home where everything started for him where he change the life right around. God bless you Bradda'. Keep that mindset.
I like that he was real about why he got a second chance because now he can give others a second chance for reasons other than stereotypes and statistics.
My God, this is a great story. This is the solution: Individuals need an education and skills. The revolving door to prison ends. As a result, they can make a living, provide for their loved ones and give back to the community.
Thank you , for knowing the truth that most refuse to . " Skin Color " I can't say it a enough , thank you ! My heart is warmed and eyes are full of tears 💕💕💕💕
I hope that people will see this and be inspired to give someone a chance. When a person is released from prison finding a job is extremely difficult. Finding a home is just as hard. How is a person supposed to stay on the right path if they can't find a job? I have never been arrested myself but I have known people who have been lost to the system. They try so hard but everyone needs to eat. To have a home. If they can't provide for themselves and possibly children the legal way they eventually go back to what they know.
Wow I love this guys hard work and dedication, brings tears to my eyes knowing that if more people in the world were like him, we would all be better off.
Imagine how the family of victims that were murdered or raped or both would feel. Yeah, they must be fuming to see those convicts getting a second chance living their life at the fullest while their family members or friends are either dead or are living with scars.
I support this idea, I also support supporting the victims of the perpetrators who were convicted of committing the crimes. I hope that the 30% who graduate from his culinary academy continue to do right by their communities in and out of the program, and the other 70% as well. If there were a program near me I'd like to think I'd support it. (This is coming from someone who was the victim of a heinous crime 11 years ago and never saw justice, and saw much worse happen to an acquaintance's family, yet am still someone who believes that much good can come from such bad by the grace and forgiveness of God.)
If the American society would invest in them when they are children, there wouldn't be as many prisoners. Kids need a role model/mentor to believe in them and push them towards greatness.
So i love that he did this for them especially cause I am a convicted convict that is from Cincinnati, Ohio but do you think its smart to have them doing champagne and wine tasting given most of them are probably recovering addicts. Can you say possible relapse?
He didn't evade prison because of his skin color. He evaded prison because of the *judges* skin color. A black judge would have thrown the book at him. That's why we need more black judges.
SO THE JUDGE WAS LENIENT TO HIM BECAUSE HE WAS WHITE? BUT I STILL RESPECT THIS GUY BECAUSE HE IS VERY HONEST,,THESE ARE THE KIND OF GUYS THAT CAN PUT DONALD TRUMP TO SHAME
They are not demeaning. It does merit worry. Knife in the hands of a convicted murderer. If every project has to be successful, pros and cons has to be considered. What can go wrong has to be considered. With that awareness, any project has more chance of success. I wish this project more success. I wish more such projects come up or the prisons themselves become places of rehabilitation. But being naive about an initiative and thinking of only what may work instead of what can go wrong is silly.
This owner is amazing and informed. He not only reduces recidivism, but also allows for these former inmates to slowly integrate back into society.
You are one special human being, Brandon. Did the judge who gave you a 2nd chance know about the long term effects of his decision?
Right. It's important for the judge to know.
Excellent question...
I'm sure he does !
Damn ur absolutely right

INSTEAD OF BUILDING MORE JAILS BUILD MORE SCHOOLS, COLLEGES FOR JOB SKILLS AND MENTAL INSTITUTIONS WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET HELP WHEN IN CRISIS
No more college.....lower the cost to attend.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
People coming together to do the right thing.
Vote Bernie 2020!!!
Not him, Us!
S500 Triumph = yes: more education, jobs and good housing & healthcare, try to PREVENT people getting to crisis point!
@J Idowu yes and housing, job/income and healthcare. And prevention for future generations! And (expensive) prison doesn't work = proved, best for all to spend on prevention.
Wow. Finally some good news. May god bless your establishment. Peace to all
that reporter low key doesnt like to see people rehabilitated he kept try to put in doubt all the hard work that man does to change those peoples life
Beautiful story.

Why shouldn't re-entry begin IN prison?
Oh, that's right, in the US prisons are all about punishment.
Yeah, that makes for higher recidivism rates which makes them more money.
Elyse Burns yep especially for profit prisons. 😢
MountainMan23 I think that’s point of prisons to punish criminals
Reentry does begin in prison.
Re entry does begin in Ohio prisons its called Transitional Control. All this guy is saying is he offers his own service of re entry. He isn't saying Ohio prisons don't offer it. I had Transitional Control on my second number in Ohio
Damn he just kept it so real "the color of my skin".
This man is going places in life. The trust he gives people is what people needed in the first place.
The world needs more people like this man. May The MOST HIGH bless you with his present young man.

What? Prison reform is better than punishment? A better outcome for society, you say?
What an awesome man. He deserves the humanitarian of the year award ❤️🙏😀
This is fantastic, there should be more programs around like this, no only offenders, but for the homeless, dropouts, etc...
What an amazing human being!
Wow, amazing story, and the owner is
so handsome!
Good luck and blessings to all involved.

Great story. Everyone deserves a second chance and hope for a better future,
I love that his heart is fully into this! 😍
What a great story, THIS IS WHAT MAKE AMERICA GREAT
Oh, by the way, the food and the service at Edwins is terrific.
May God bless him and favor him in Jesus’s name amen
The fact he also doesn’t take any government money also. This guy is amazing.
As a fellow Clevelander: THANK YOU!
OMG HOW CAN I IMPLEMENT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN DAYTON!?
I like that he was real about why he got a second chance because now he can give others a second chance for reasons other than stereotypes and statistics.
My God, this is a great story. This is the solution: Individuals need an education and skills. The revolving door to prison ends. As a result, they can make a living, provide for their loved ones and give back to the community.
They need more true people like this
Thank you , for knowing the truth that most refuse to . " Skin Color " I can't say it a enough , thank you ! My heart is warmed and eyes are full of tears 💕💕💕💕
God Bless that man!
THIS is what America SHOULD look like!!!
Every state should do this.. amazing
Very kind man hope he is still running
Brandon you give me faith in humanity. Wish we had more people like you in this world would make it a better to live. 🤗

I wish they would open a restaurant in South FL! I would definitely support the business!!
1:14 Why did I get Prison because of the colour my skin and Grace of God🙄
Manjeet joshi A sad reality in America. I'm glad he recognized his privilege, though.
@Awakening Butterfly Who do you want it to be so you can get triggered ...
The grace of god had NOTHING to do with it
@J Idowu
No it was the judge that did it don't give credit to something that doesn't exist.
"yOu CAnT sAy thAt on tV"
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless him , his program, and his participants always. 🙏
Bravo 👏

Great idea

He could left the grace of god part and everything he say is true. I still love what he is doing.

You make your own choices
That reporter is such a softy

Wow great Guy
You are a good man.
God bless your business.

Nice!
Wat we need in America
An honest business man, judge gave me "second chance" because the color of my skin: white. He was facing 5 to 10 years in prison.
Captain America
This people should be become much more attention. Doing much more than policitcans.
So i love that he did this for them especially cause I am a convicted convict that is from Cincinnati, Ohio but do you think its smart to have them doing champagne and wine tasting given most of them are probably recovering addicts. Can you say possible relapse?
yay... luv it!

Whomever gave this a thumbs down... I hope your life gets a thumbs down

Only 500 views. Sad America will give Gangnam style 25,000,000 views yet something that matters almost none
You’re telling me he looked at poor graduation rates while choosing a proper destination? Uh okay.
This works because no Govt money is involved
✌❤

Ohio is VERY midwest.

That's good that he recognizes his privilege.
Wow a hypocrite person playing a good person
Swear cbs presenters are so demeaning thinking they are above everyone
They are not demeaning. It does merit worry. Knife in the hands of a convicted murderer. If every project has to be successful, pros and cons has to be considered. What can go wrong has to be considered. With that awareness, any project has more chance of success.
I wish this project more success. I wish more such projects come up or the prisons themselves become places of rehabilitation.
But being naive about an initiative and thinking of only what may work instead of what can go wrong is silly.
But not having opportunity is why a lot of people return to crime that's why in the UK London is soo bad atm
