Most people's understanding about prison is informed by the media that they consume. And most of the time this understanding is far from the facts. If you are interested in dispelling the myths of prison by getting a closer look at what it's like and hearing firsthand from people who live and work there, please consider joining us for a tour of Tennessee's Bledsoe Prison. #2XChances #PrisonTour #BustingMyths
