Imagine finding your life's purpose within the walls of a jail. That's the story of Theresa Perdue, who meets with nearly 100 inmates each week to plant the seed that recovery is possible. In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, hosted by Randall Carlisle and Nicole Slack, Theresa shares her journey of helping inmates understand that while jail is tough, treatment can offer a way out.
