It is often said that the US is "the land of second chances". One Chicago-based woman has embraced hers, becoming the boss of a successful all-female construction company after three years in prison.
Traci Quinn, a mother and grandmother, spent two decades as a nurse.
It was while working in hospitals that she witnessed how cannabis helped some patients, such as those suffering from seizures. It inspired her to set up a company selling medical cannabis.
However, back in 2016 she was arrested after transporting 50lb (23kg) of the drug into Tennessee, which has some of the strictest cannabis laws in the US. Despite Traci having legally purchased the cannabis in California she was tried and convicted for trafficking.
She says the resulting prison sentence was traumatising. "I bawled, I cried, and asked God why. I'd taken care of people my whole life. God told me he didn't have me there as punishment, but on purpose."
