Jeff Abramowitz’s story is one of remarkable transformation. Once a successful trial lawyer, Jeff made choices that led him to prison. But instead of letting his sentence define him, Jeff used his time inside to find a new purpose—teaching adult basic education to fellow inmates. This experience sparked a passion for education that followed him upon release, where he stayed in the field and eventually became the CEO of the Petey Greene Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the educational and career goals of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. In this episode of The Path Forward Podcast™, Jeff talks with Augie about the power of education in reentry, the critical support provided by career centers, and how asking for help is key to success after incarceration. Tune in to hear how Jeff’s story is helping others rewrite their own futures.
