Vanessa Nelson- Sloane and David Sloane - Inside Life Support Alliance

After a short break, The Rancho Cordova Podcast is back and refreshed with new stories from our community.
Today’s episode features husband-and-wife team Vanessa Nelson-Sloane and David Sloane, leaders of Life Support Alliance, a nonprofit working inside California’s prison system to support rehabilitation and advocate for incarcerated lifers.

Vanessa, LSA’s founder, has attended over 200 parole hearings and helps guide people through the process. David, once sentenced to life and now paroled for over a decade, brings firsthand experience and leads programs inside prisons across the state.

Together, they share:

  • How rehabilitation actually works

  • Why lifers can return safely to society

  • What needs to change inside California’s prison system

It was a powerful conversation, and I think you’ll learn a lot.

Hosted by Charles Lago.
