AURORA, Colo. â You could say Shani Jones believes in second chances. Or maybe she just believes in people. Most all of them are just as committed as the most committed people youâll know, she said. (They re) trying to get their lives back.
She s talking about people like Lucas Sales. I thought she was amazing, Lucas recalled of his first meeting with Jones.
The pair met at Aurora s Second Chance Center. The nonprofit helps people who were incarcerated re-enter society, connecting them with employment, housing, food and mentoring resources to help break the cycle of incarceration.
