A private investigator who works on trials and appeals for death-row inmates, Chavis knows firsthand that, with help, people can change. It was on death-row that she met Jarvis Masters, who wrote a prize-winning book about his experience. "Jarvis has shown that a reactive, violent young man in a rage from having been separated from his mother at five years old, raised in nine foster homes and then sent to juvenile prison at twelve, could change. And if he can change, we all can change."
