Kevin Fisher had only one place in mind for his first meal as a free man: Hot Chicken Takeover. Upon his release from prison in January 2019, Fisher ordered boneless chicken, mac and cheese, and coleslaw at the chain’s location in a downtown market in Columbus, Ohio. But it was the company’s mission, not just its menu, that drew him.
Fisher became acquainted with Hot Chicken Takeover a few years earlier when founder Joe DeLoss spoke to inmates about his company hiring people who’d previously been incarcerated through its equal employment policy. The message was compelling, and the fried chicken DeLoss gave out was delicious, Fisher says. “All a person wants when they get out is a chance to live life.”
Finding work after serving 26 years for murder was tough for Fisher, who’d argued during his trial that he was defending himself from an acquaintance who attacked him with a knife in an attempted sexual assault. The prior conviction was a deal breaker for some employers, but not for Hot Chicken Takeover, where he eventually landed a job.
