Montana Tarpley Montana Tarpley found a cause within her own life, one that was shaped, tested, and ultimately forged by the same system she now works to dismantle, one life at a time. As the founder of Second Hands Reentry & Youth Empowerment Hub, based in Danville, Virginia, Tarpley runs a dual-mission program that serves at-risk youth and formerly incarcerated adults, working with them not just through the justice system, but long after the gates close behind them.
