Graduation season is upon us, but for some, crossing the stage in front of friends and family is about much more than earning a degree.

That’s why JETmag.com, in a unique collaboration with Bishop TD Jakes ministries, traveled to Dallas to witness an unusual commencement ceremony.

Check out “Lock & Key: Inside the Texas Offender Re-entry Initiative” to learn about a special post-prison program to help those whom society has all but written off.

Watch parts 1 and 2 of this special news series exclusive to jetmag.com.  Then, stay tuned for the conclusion on 5.13.2014.

PART 1.  See how this exclusive docu-series begins, and meet Carolyn Hemphill, a grandmother desperately trying to escape a past of prison and substance abuse.

PART 2.  We revisit the story of Carolyn Hemphill, and find out more about the offerings of the Texas Offender Re-entry Initiative.  Hear directly from Bishop TD Jakes about why this program is so vital to his ministry and America in general.
