About this episode

In this episode we interview Brian Koehn, Co-founder, CEO, & Co-chair of the Board of of Social Profit Corrections (SPC) 

Brian's shared passion for corrections reform and social justice prompted him to end his 28-year career in corrections and start SPC.  Through his tenure as warden at five separate facilities, Brian experienced firsthand the existing gaps and opportunities within the criminal justice system. His personal mission is to reform corrections.


Brian is a security expert and has vast experience in the field of corrections, which includes 14 years as warden at five separate facilities.  He has managed contracts in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the United States Marshals Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as multiple state, and county jails.  Brian served as Director of Security over 65 secure facilities.  He is an engaged member of the American Correctional Association (ACA) and participates in several committees. 


Brian served in the United States Marine Corps and Army National Guard. He holds a bachelor's degree from St. Cloud State University and is an Ironman triathlete.
