Not all heroes wear capes, and masks and carry a shield, but at Meredith Springfield, a Ludlow Massachusetts manufacturing facility for Fortune 100 companies, Owner Mel O’Leary has spent twenty years as a 2nd chance employer! In his relationship with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department, Mel has not only employed a few hundred formerly incarcerated but approximately one-third of those 2nd chance hires have continued to stay on with him and some have even moved into management positions. Joining Mel in the conversation is Luis, an ex-offender for drug conspiracy, who entered Federal prison at the age of 18 and stayed incarcerated for six years. As with all the Meredith Springfield 2nd chance hires, Luis was given the opportunity to work for Mel while finishing up his sentence in the Hampden re-entry program. Listen in to find out how Mel’s 2nd chance hiring has not been in vain.
