We’d love to hear from you! Every year, we ask the Life After Prison audience to complete a short survey. Your answers help us understand what’s working, what we can improve, and they also help us show our funders the real impact of the show. It only takes a few minutes and your feedback really does make a difference.


Today’s guest on the Life After Prison couch is Chris Baker. Growing up around crime, with his dad in and out of prison, Chris got pulled into that life too. A motorcycle accident during a police chase cost him his arm, and he later served a 10-year sentence. Today, Chris is an actor and motivational speaker working with schools and prisons, sharing his story to inspire others and show young people how Adverse Childhood Experiences can shape behaviour—and how to make better choices for the future.
