William Hemm

Rev. Hemm is immanently lovable. He smiles a lot, looks at you in the eye. He listens intently and has a million good stories. He's a natural preacher and he's a felon. Nearly 20 million Americans have been convicted of a felony. Every one of those is somebody's child. Every felon has a name. This is William Hemm.

Demario Oates

There are many ways to describe Demario: son, father, comedian, felon. The felony conviction not only gives some people pause about who he is, but it makes others come to a full stop. No reason to proceed further with this job application, this relationship. But every felon has a name and a story. This is Demario Oates.
