Shauna Reyes was born and raised in Oregon, and moved to Texas when she was 20 years old. She is a mother of three, the wife of a Second Looker, and an advocate for juvenile justice reform. In 1995, her youngest brother was charged and sentenced as an adult when he was just 15 years old. His sentence came on the heels of the “you do the crime; you do the time” superpredator campaign in the 1990’s. This pivotal moment propelled her toward law and policy and its effects on juveniles.

For the last 20 years, Shauna has served in various areas of youth ministry and recently earned a B.S. in Law and Public Policy. Her vision is to be instrumental in passing Second Look Texas into law; a bill she has advocated for the last five years.

Priscilla grew up and lives in Southeast, Texas and enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and spending time outdoors.

French born and raised, I moved to Texas at the end of last year. Epicenter’s mission has always been dear to my heart as my husband is a second looker himself. Our upbringing and mistakes don’t have to define the rest of our lives. Second look is more than just another bill. It is hope, hope for those kids that once were locked away and that might get a chance showing the world they have changed and can become productive members of society. It is hope in its purest form, for those who committed crimes as children to transform themselves and get out as men and women of God ready to give back to the community. I am excited for this opportunity to serve and put to use my administrative skills.

Incarcerated shortly after his 17th birthday in 1998, Chon was convicted of first-degree murder and given a 75 year sentence. Over the last 26 years and counting, Chon has grown into a man of integrity, and he exemplifies the potential of all Second Lookers. Incarcerated with only a 10th grade education, Chon managed to earn four college degrees: a Master of Arts degree in Literature and a Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Science (University of Houston–Clear Lake), a Master degree in Christian Education (Shalom Bible College and Seminary), and an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts (Alvin Community College), and he was inducted into the International English Honor Society, Sigma Tau Delta. Motivated by the power of positive change, Chon sought personal growth development in other areas as well, completing more than two dozen rehabilitative programs and eight on-the-job training programs, all while maintaining a reputable work ethic and good disciplinary record. Holding onto the hope of his eventual release, Chon remains committed to helping other prisoners reach their rehabilitative potential.
