“I Vowed I Would Never Return” — From Release to Service – Jacquin Webb Interview [Video]

Watch the replay of our conversation with Jacquin Webb, founder and executive director of Reconnect 180 in Carson City, Nevada.

After 20 years of incarceration, Jacquin came home with a box of belongings and the practical question so many people face on day one: what comes next? In this interview, he shares how that experience became a calling to help other returning citizens prepare before release and find support after they come home.

Jacquin’s story moves from the first shock of release into the work of service: meeting people before the gate opens, helping them navigate identification, housing, employment, transportation, and the ordinary choices that can feel overwhelming after years inside.
