Amanda Lemon, a repeat offender incarcerated at Baylor Women's Correctional Institution who is serving a 10 year sentence, shares how her second chance(s) gave her the opportunity to do something positive.

About three years ago, I found SOAR (Survivors of Abuse and Recovery) and that has been my saving grace. It's intense therapy for abused women in recovery and it has helped me to dissect through my traumas piece by piece...When you give yourself a second chance it gives you permission to give others that second chance.
