All In All Out
All In All Out focuses on promoting 1) greater communication and collaboration in the field of reentry/reform/decarceration efforts in Wisconsin and 2) showcasing the successes, humanity, and agency of people with criminal records. All In All Out is produced in partnership with The Community (thecommunitynow.us), the Wisconsin Decarceration Platform (wisdp.org), and the Milwaukee School of Engineering. We are part of a small community of podcast/radio shows in Wisconsin working to correct the narrative about the justice system and how we can better bring about a justice system more worthy of that name.

Episode 5: Ruben Gaona Talks Home Ownership & Entrepreneurship Post Incarceration
Shannon talks with Ruben Gaona about the pros and cons of entrepreneurship versus employment and rental versus homeownership for people with criminal records, particularly those still on “paper.”
Ruben Gaona is the Executive Director of My Way Out, an organization focused on reentry support for formerly incarcerated individuals. Ruben's work has earned him numerous accolades, including being named the 2021 Veteran Social Entrepreneur of the Year and one of Wisconsin’s 2022 Most Influential Latino Leaders. His journey from adversity to advocacy highlights his commitment to ensuring that past mistakes do not define individuals, but rather, what they do afterward does.
