Women's prison reform advocate honored by beauty brand L'Oreal

We just had an election. Here's a vote in a whole different direction. 

It would net a Los Angeles woman big money for her work with women coming out of prison. L'Oreal Paris already named Susan Burton a Woman of Worth. She was one of 10 women selected nationwide.

The honor gained her nonprofit a $20,000 grant. If Burton wins the fan vote, her A New Way of Life nonprofit could gain another $25,000.

Burton founded A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL). She has twelve homes for women coming out of prison. Burton herself spent years in and out of incarceration before turning her life around. She's been named a CNN Hero and a FOX 11 Community Champion.
