Baton Rouge program aids ex-prisoners in rebuilding lives
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — It's second chance Tuesday, and the Capitol area prisoner reentry program serves as Baton Rouge's place to provide former prisoners a second chance in society. 'We did it because we wanted to create a singular group and network of service providers that provided services for people reentering after prison or after jail, after incarceration,' said Program Director Christopher Sonka. Sonka said he loves it when people come back and explain how much second chance Tuesday has done for them, especially when they were once hopeless. 'We've had several people come to us after coming to the second chance Tuesday afterwards and tell us how helping them get an expungement done or helping them connected to resources that have helped them get housing or help them get to it cards, how that's helped their life so much,' said Sonka. Second chance Tuesday also helps people connect with local employers who will look past their criminal history to give them a steady stream of income. 'Many employers, we like to call them second chance employers, employers who are willing to look past a felony conviction and give a person a chance to come in and interview and actually see if they're a right fit for the job,' he said.

Cameron Jordan, Tyrann Mathieu debut bold new hairstyles at Saints minicamp
A couple of New Orleans Saints veterans made their 2025 debuts in reporting for work at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice -- and two of them were sporting bold new hairstyles. Change is nothing new for Cameron Jordan, who has had some fun with his NFL-mandated headshot each season over the years, but his new platinum locks inspired by HBO's "House of the Dragon" series are something else. Jordan started binging the popular "Game of Thrones" spinoff this summer and picked up some fashion tips along the way. "I wanted to be a Velaryon," Jordan told reporters after practice, referring to one of the noble houses known for their distinctive bleach-blonde hair. "And I was like, 'You know what, this guy. This guy's got something going on.' Now granted, I thought I'd do the beard, too, but I didn't like the way the fumes was rising. So I kept it exactly how I wanted to. I think this is me. I'll see how long it lasts." But Jordan wasn't the only Saints veteran switching it up. Tyrann Mathieu has worn dreads for most of his 12-year NFL career, but he cut them off back earlier this spring. Speaking with reporters at his locker, he joked that "I was trying to shave some years off" before celebrating his 33rd birthday in May. Maybe the change can help him. Mathieu has intercepted 36 passes in his NFL career, trailing only Harrison Smith (37) for the most among active players. He wants that title for himself, and if a fresh cut puts a spring in his step, then so be it.
