Listen "PLANTING SEEDS OF HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY"
Episode Synopsis
Drawing from his upbringing on an Indiana farm, Sheriff Brad Burkhart's philosophy is grounded in the idea of "planting seeds of hope and opportunity" for those incarcerated individuals under his watch in Hancock County. With over 38 years of experience in law enforcement, Sheriff Burkhart shares his journey and has seen firsthand that in corrections, there is a need to prepare the ground for individuals to grow and thrive, just like the seeds he planted as a young farm boy. One such preparation is the utilization of the Orijin tablets, which provide incarcerated individuals access to educational resources and vocational training, thus fostering hope and opportunity. It is the transformative power of the tablet initiative, along with other programs behind the wall, that is creating a positive impact and reducing recidivism in the Hancock County community.
