Brian has an abundance of knowledge and experience when it comes to prisons, having spent his entire career working in corrections in Missouri, USA. The majority of his time was spent working at Ozark Correctional Center, which is a dedicated drug treatment facility for incarcerated people with addictions. Brian was the warden for the last 7 years of his career in Ozark before he retired last year.

On this episode he speaks about what sets a treatment facility apart from other prisons and explains how the therapeutic community model works. Brian discusses how this type of facility can really help transform the lives of incarcerated individuals with addictions. Particularly when previously incarcerated individuals who were on the programme in Ozark, come back and actually teach the programme to people currently in prison. This can help show them that they too can turn their lives around.
