My guest on the podcast today is Perry Gaidurgis and he’s been sober for a lifetime. He’s accomplished so much in his 43 years of sobriety and is a film producer of Shattering the Silence of this epidemic we call substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues in dealing with life. And today we’re going to talk about the reducing the stigma and the recovery process of families.  Perry Gaidurgis (oldest of eight children) was released in 1979 from the Southern Maryland Correctional Camp after serving three years of an eight year sentence for an eight dollar armed robbery. As a heavily tattooed 21 years old returning citizen he quickly began speaking in southern Maryland high schools about his family addiction &amp; mental health recovery process and life behind bars. While incarcerated he re-started his education with self-study and earned his GED in the Prince Georges County Detention Center. Perry later attended and later taught classes, workshops and peer groups at the Charles County Community College and the Maryland Office of Education and Training for Addiction Services. He’s been clean and sober ever since and has a long list of accomplishments in recovery. For over 40 years his story and writings, photography, film projects and interviews have appeared in newspapers, television programs, recovery books, articles, festivals, workshops, readings and blogs.

Shattering the Silence with Perry Gaidurgis

Chris Poulos

Perry founded a textbook retail business with an online adjunct business.  He's advocated for book donations to prisons and libraries for years.  Chris was once a homeless teenager and a felon.  He's now an attorney.  Perry started with the gangs of DC and his first arrest was for an $8 robbery, not a brilliant start.  But it gave him time to get his GED, become a trustee and editor of the paper.  Chris had to become an attorney with his record.  He not only was able to navigate that path, he wound up working in the White House with a top security clearance.  In both men's cases, they took the energy and passion of their outlaw past, turned it around and applied it to the lawful side of society.Felony Inc Podcast with your hosts Dave Dahl and Ladd JustesenWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.Audio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon BeausoleilShow logo was designed by Carolyn MainWebsite was designed by Cameron GrimesProduction assistant is Chelsea LancasterTheme music "Free" written and recorded by Dave Dahl, all rights reserved, motherfuckersThis weeks podcast brought to you in part by soap-on-a-rope, when you don't want to drop stuffFelony Inc Podcast supports City Central Concern at centralcityconcern.org10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimesListen to the Felony Inc Podcast live on-air every Friday at 10:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
