In spite of it all, there is hope.  It pokes through all of this darkness like sunbeams, despite the best efforts of a dark system to hold the light back.  In this episode, get to know MOMS, Mothers Offering Mutual Support, founded in Ontario in 2012.  Over the years, MOMS has held countless hands and dried the tears of female family members walking this "journey nobody wants to take".  And meet Chris Brown, internationally known musician who founded and who continues to nurture Pros & Cons Prison Arts Program, founded in Ontario in 2011.    These wonderful and tireless individuals remind us daily that hope wins.
