The Story Of Dion Drew: Yonkers Bakery Gives Felons A Second Chance!

After dropping out of high school in 1996 to become a crack dealer, Dion Drew had several encounters with the New York State penal system that lasted anywhere from a few days to a few months and sometimes even longer. For seventeen years, growing up in southwest Yonkers Drew’s life was dictated by the rhythms of his street life. It was the only life he knew. When he turned 24, Drew spent four years at an upstate prison. This gave him time to reflect on his life. That was the last time Drew was behind bars. In 2009, at 28, nine months after his release from prison, Drew was hired by Greyston Bakery. Via Upworthy. Posted By Persist
