00:00We're about to do a dinner for 60 people inside a prison, next to our garden, with our class
00:16of 20-plus inmates who make it all possible.
00:31So in 2012, that's 12 years ago from today, classes started here teaching men in prison
00:37about culinary arts and hospitality.
00:39That was it.
00:40It was a belief that every human being, regardless of their past, has the right to a fair and
00:43equal future.
00:54It's a program that I actually want to carry to the outside when I leave here.
00:59There's housing.
01:00There's so many different opportunities that they make available to us, and they actually
01:03care.
01:04This could be the rest of my life, and they're doing this for everybody.
01:07They're not looking at me as a number, they're looking at me as a person.
