Acton Hero: Catherine Rohr


Catherine Rohr was a successful Wall Street executive until she was invited to a prison-tour that changed her life. She realized how people in prison have a great untapped potential and decided to help them change their lives through the Prison Entrepreneurship Program.

I was amazed by her ability to see the best of people and recognizing them for who they are capable of becoming. She has been successful because she has a great desire to help others. She uses her talents to do good for society, instead of just benefiting herself.


The key for her success was that she had a mission she believed in, and she wasn’t afraid to ask others for help and resources. She has a very strong commitment to her purpose and doesn’t give up when obstacles arise. She has encountered many difficulties along the way, from thieves stealing her belongings, to colleagues not believing in her, and prison officials shutting down her program; however, she has been strong enough to work through those obstacles and find success.
