Louie Diaz is a person in long-term recovery. He works as a reentry and outreach specialist at the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Department. His job takes him inside prisons and jails preparing men for release. He is a support system for returning citizens when they are released to the community.

Louie is an invaluable link between the inside and outside. Because of his background as a formerly incarcerated citizen, he is able to offer unconditional support and an experiential understanding of the culture of the streets. He understands recovery and the stresses of incarceration and reentry on both a personal and a professional level. Louie has a unique style of incorporating recovery, spirituality, and love into his work.

Darryl Buchannan is a person who struggled with the disease of addiction for forty-plus years; spent 28 years of his life incarcerated as a direct result of his addiction. After years of active addiction, prison, and homelessness, he surrendered his life and accepted a new way of living.

Darryl is in long-term recovery and working in the field of mental health and addiction helping others find freedom and a new way of life. He is a published author about to release his next book "Scars and Broken Pieces". Along with a colleague, they formed "Haywoods Helping Hands", an outreach organization that brings basic needs and services to those living in the streets.
