Armed with this information, Les began speaking to at risk kids and providing tours through the County Jail in an effort to redirect teens away from destructive paths. Les provided hope to thousands of kids who needed direction during hopeless times.
Over the next 2 decades, Les would become a voice of inspiration and hope that continues to empower many to dream again.
