In this episode, we shine a light on CALCTRA's Optical Program—an initiative that trains incarcerated individuals in prescription eyewear manufacturing—and the remarkable journey of Robert Castaneda. Once incarcerated, Robert found purpose and a new path through the program, gaining skills that helped him build a successful career as an Optician after release. Tune in to hear how vision, both literal and personal, can lead to transformation and second chances.
