The Iron Tribe cleans out drug houses and moves in ex-offenders in recovery.

Hosted by Lisa Loving

Iron Tribe: a local re-entry program built by ex-offenders.

In the studio today are Bear, Shawn, and Jason. Joining us by phone is Corbett.

Now 200 members strong, they’ve built a re-entry program for themselves, from scratch. Is bootstrapping up a myth? Not for these guys. Do call in with your questions!

Those wanting to learn more about Iron Tribe can listen to Duke University Steve Greenberg’s audio piece on the tribe at http://documentaryaudio.com/.

Those who are looking to recover from addictions and criminality can call Bear Cubbedge at (503) 754-3495. “We mentor each other as equals,” said Bear.

what a tremendous reminder of the power of the "group!" iron tribe, and dda, are examples of mutual understadnig, love, and support. what wwe may not be able to do alone, we can surely do with the help of others.
thank you for this program!
love, peace, and blessings,
corbett
