Synopsis

What would you do if given a second chance? At just 19 years-old, Michael Phillips was facing decades in prison on drug charges. But a judge gave him an alternate option: go to a special college program for adjudicated youth instead. Now Michael has reinvented himself as a pastor and education reform advocate working to dismantle the system that results in so many young Black men like himself going straight from school to prison. Nine-time Emmy winner, David Sams, learns more about Michael’s incredible story that’s also detailed in his book, “Wrong Lanes Have Right Turns.” #LifePrep #MichaelPhillips #WrongLanesHaveRightTurns
