Episode 94 - Jimmy Olsen interviews Kyle Horn about his work with the Reform Alliance, an organization focused on transforming probation and parole supervision laws nationwide, including in Iowa. Horn discusses his journey from the corporate staffing world to founding the nonprofit Job Honor Awards—which celebrated individuals overcoming employment barriers, often due to criminal histories—and how that work led him to his current advocacy role, which focuses on eliminating counterproductive supervision rules and negative employer bias to help justice-impacted individuals successfully return to society and the workforce. The conversation highlights issues such as technical violations of parole, the need for individualized conditions for those under supervision, and the economic benefits of reducing employment barriers for this population, concluding with contact information for the Reform Alliance.
