In this powerful episode of Conviction Fiction, we sit down with Matthew Stephens—a man once labeled “incorrigible” by the U.S. government, who is now a Regional Detox Specialist and a fierce advocate for Restorative Justice.
After serving 18 years across five separate prison bids, including a 15-year federal sentence as an "armed career criminal," Matthew made a decision that changed everything: he refused to let the system write his ending.
Inside, he earned over 10 vocational certifications, a college-level education, and a new vision for his life. Now on the outside, he's helping others recover, rebuild, and rise above the same system that once tried to bury him.
In this episode, we explore:
The emotional weight of being labeled “incorrigible”
How prisons can either be crime factories or classrooms
The importance of education and recovery in reentry
What restorative justice really looks like in practice
Why policy and perception must change for true justice
Whether you’re directly impacted or just ready to understand what real change takes, this conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about justice, redemption, and second chances.
**Don’t just listen—**be part of the movement.
