Incarceration impacts every aspect of our community. Lowering recidivism isn’t just a criminal justice issue—it’s an economic, social, and spiritual one. In this compelling presentation, David Phillips of Brand 316 will share how business owners, community members, leaders, and the church can unite to build safer, more thriving communities. With a focus on actionable steps and the clear factors that drive success (and failure), this talk makes an inspiring argument for the transformative power of second chances.
David Phillips is the founder of Brand 316, a prison ministry dedicated to lowering recidivism through discipleship, mentorship, and practical life skills training – both during and after incarceration. Brand 316 works with inmates throughout the state of Kansas and the Federal Prison System.
