A One-Time Gang Enforcer is Now a Community Force

Breaking fingers, collar bones—whatever painful infliction a New York gang ordered  for their foes, it was DR. GARLAND SCOTT’s job to do it. And he says he enjoyed being “the enforcer”—until a hit was put on his own life and a deadly attack claimed the life of a close friend. Garland did a 180, turning his life around and dedicating it to helping others get off the road he once walked. Hear Garland’s story of resilience and real change, as he has become a last resort for others willing to leave their thug life behind!

Also in this episode, hear how Garland worked with President George W. Bush on groundbreaking faith-based initiatives, partners with the local Sheriff’s Office to change young lives, and plans to expand his mission with his “safe house”—truly a story of redemption, resilience, and real change!
