Ronald is the client advocate for the Employment Enhancement Program and is responsible for identifying potentially eligible clients as future employees. His work is helping dedicated individuals find gainful employment opportunities and prepare to join the workforce after their release from prison. Coordinating with the Department of Corrections, Ronald interviews individuals who already have discharge dates and connects them with job opportunities. By helping them find stable employment before they are released, he is helping to ensure they have the best chance for success with their second chance.
Prior to joining our staff in April 2023, Ronald was the Director of Chaplains at the Mississippi State Penitentiary for three years. He also served as Chaplains Clerk at Louisiana State Penitentiary during his 27 years of incarceration. Ronald became a Parole Project client after his release in November 2018 and now uses his experience to guide others toward successful careers and lives.
