Happy Second Chance Month!
Cleveland Affiliate member. Sadigoh C. Galloway, shares her why.
“I do this work because I believe people deserve more than punishment—they deserve the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and thrive. Every day, I serve individuals navigating the intersection of mental health, substance use, and the criminal justice system, many of whom have been overlooked or misunderstood.
Second chances are important—but fair chances are transformative. Fair chances mean access to quality treatment, dignity in care, and systems that recognize the role of trauma, environment, and inequity.
Through my work, I advocate for rehabilitation over retribution—creating pathways where people are not defined by their past, but empowered by their potential.”
