Scott Jones, Co-Founder, One Brother One Sister

Bail in the Midwest

Join host Shane Rolf and his guest, Scott Jones, co-founder of One Brother One Sister. The non-profit program offers courses on how to deal with addiction and mental health issues within communities, workplaces and home life. Specifically, One Brother One Sister educates individuals on the frontlines who see these issues on a daily basis. This includes first responders, corrections officers -- and bail agents, as a high percentage of incarcerated people meet the diagnostic criteria for drug abuse.
One Brother One Sister was co-founded by Mr. Jones and Karyn Hurley. They adopted the mission of helping first responders after Ms. Hurley lost her brother, who served as a firefighter and was a proud U.S. veteran. First responders face overwhelming adversity, stress and danger in their daily responsibilities which can take a toll on their physical, mental and emotional health. It is One Brother One Sister’s goal to give them the education, resources and support they need to thrive in their lives as well as their careers.
