From serving time to time serving
Jeff Grant is a leader, expert and speaker in personal crisis management, criminal justice/prisoner reentry, recovery from opioid and substance abuse, leading a successful life with bipolar disorder/mental illness, spirituality/interfaith religion and his own riches-to-rags-to-redemption story. After addiction to prescription opioids and serving almost 14 months in a Federal prison for a white-collar crime he committed when he was a lawyer, Jeff started his own reentry – earning a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. Jeff is the first person in the United States formerly incarcerated for a white-collar crime to be appointed as Executive Director of a major criminal justice nonprofit.
