#54 Ryley Morgan, Coffee Creek Cosmetology Graduate

Sometimes bad stuff happens in Tsunami-type proportions. Ryley Morgan headed to prison for the third time while pregnant. Her child was adopted out, her grandparents died while she as serving her sentence, then her father got cancer and she only had a few months with him after she got out. But that's what it took to make her determined to turn her life around. At Coffee Creek, a Wilsonville, Oregon based women's prison, she entered the very sought after hair design program. Intensive and long, she came out of the cosmetology program after five years and had a career waiting when she graduated. On her way to the prison after this very show, she is now a speaker, inspiring and encouraging the women in the program to stick with it and stay straight after release.
