In this special two-part episode of Swift’s Guys Guide, B-Swift dives deep into community healing, criminal justice reform, and trauma recovery with Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears and the passionate team behind Prescription for Hope at Eskenazi Hospital.

Prosecutor Ryan Mears

Recorded live at a community expungement and license reinstatement event, Mears shares why second chances matter more than ever. With hundreds in attendance, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office is making it clear: they're focused on outcomes, not punishment. From clearing records to restoring driving privileges, this is about helping people get back on their feet and stay out of the system—for good. 

Prescription for Hope Team

In an emotional and motivating conversation, the team behind Prescription for Hope discusses the deep work of violence intervention and healing. These are people who meet individuals at their lowest point—after trauma, violence, or incarceration—and help them rebuild their lives. Whether it’s finishing school, finding employment, reconnecting with family, or simply learning discipline and self-worth, this program walks with clients for as long as it takes. Some for 3 months. Others for years. They stress the importance of: Building trust and consistency Acting as a surrogate support system Connecting clients to the right community partners Fostering long-term healing and accountability
