The Foundation for a Successful Reentry
In the two years since his release from prison, Josh Scarberry has made great strides towards a brighter future: reinstating his driver’s license, buying a car, getting married, and graduating from a one-year technology program in lighting and sound. Buying a house in Bristol, Virginia, set a solid foundation for this work.
