On this edition of Your Call, we’ll speak with Chris Wilson about his new book, The Master Plan: My Journey from Life in Prison to a Life of Purpose.
When he was 17, Wilson was cornered by two men. He shot and killed one of them. A year later, he was sentenced to life in prison. In his 30s, he convinced a judge to reduce his sentence. He walked out of jail six years later. After winning his release, Wilson started businesses that employ citizens returning from prison.
