Ex-Prisoners

A record was not the end of their story.

10 profiles, published in one list. Every profile is fact-checked against its sources, and every source opens inside the magazine.

Ten profiles of men and women who came home from prison and built businesses — for whom a record was a chapter, not the end of the story.

The list features Chris Wilson, Dave Dahl, Dawon Matthews and Marcus Bullock. Each profile covers the whole arc: the fall, the time served, and the company built afterwards — what it does and who it employs.

The magazine tells these stories without softening either half. The records are real, and so are the businesses. Both are documented here, with sources linked under every profile.
