Pro Media Mag : You have also been a motivational speaker in the same prison system that ruined your golden years. What’s the motivation behind this?
Ria Schumacher : The prison system in America is not designed to rehabilitate offenders. It’s not a place of rehabilitation anymore and hasn’t been for many decades. Prisons in America are an Industry and the men and women getting out of prisons are more often than not returning after release. I go back and speak to inform those men and women of other resources available for them so they don’t have to resort to lives of crime anymore. I go back for them.
Pro Media Mag : How was your experience at “Dr. Phil show” ?
Ria Schumacher : It was amazing. Dr. Phil gave me the advice and the mental push that I needed to regain control over my life. After the show I didn’t look for a job anymore. I started making the necessary steps to become a business owner.

Ria Schumacher : I’m working on a Calendar for 2018. Since my birthday is in December I’m hoping to do a shoot after mountain climbing to the top of a great Mountain.

And the Best things are the ones worth working hard for.
