Martin Lockett's Redemption: From Tragedy to Advocacy

I'm listening to the police radio from the backseat and there's a lot of you know chatter about the crash, obviously. So there's now two people dead, another with life-threatening injuries, who could lose his life, you know, any day, on one hand, and then, on the other hand, I am keenly aware, having been in the system already, of the mandatory minimum sentencing laws in the state of Oregon that require no ifs, ands or buts about it, absolutely require a mandatory-year sentence, day for day for Dui Manslaughter.
Imagine serving 17 years in prison for a DUI fatality. That's the reality Martin Lockett faced. In this gripping episode, Jeannine Coulter Lindgren sits down with Martin to explore his life behind bars and his journey toward redemption. Martin didn't just serve time; he sought education and became deeply involved in volunteer work, even while incarcerated. He worked with impact panels, sharing his story to prevent others from making the same mistakes.
Now, he's a volunteer with 988 and mentors young men, offering them the guidance he wishes he'd had. The conversation also touches on the counter-culture in minority communities and how it can lead to addiction. Martin's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around and make a positive impact. Tune in for an episode that’s as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring.
