Gov., Dept. of Corrections celebrate Second Chance Month

From Katherine Williams

Frankfort, KY - On April 6, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear is joining the nation in recognition of April being Second Chance Month by taking time to acknowledge the work being done to assist the justice-involved population with finding meaningful employment, addiction treatment and education.

Second Chance Month is designated by the President as a month to bring together communities and organizations throughout the nation to raise awareness of barriers that ex-offenders face upon reentering society. The goal is to show that those who have paid their debt to society deserve a second chance at becoming successful law-abiding citizens. The communities benefit from joining in the effort because it allows the individual the ability to become a productive tax-paying member where they live.

Letter: Elmer Bryant is with Sherrif England in photo

Gina Hedrick Coker
In the photo with Sherrif England, the gentleman with the overalls is my Grandfather Elmer Bryant.

This picture would have to have been made prior to 1972. I was around 8 when he died and miss him so much. Wish I had more pictures of him.

Thank you Gina for writing and we will add your Grandfather's name under the photo. Columbia Magazine is dedicated to "linking the generations."
