Follow Play

I am interviewing formerly incarcerated men and women, being granted a second chance at freedom. The lack of education is linked to mass incarceration. The USA is the leading country on mass incarceration, putting a value on our citizens for monetary gains, disbanding people from their civil liberties.MORE Producer/Network Omar DeJesus
