Opportunities from Behind Bars

For some prisoners, opportunities for a better life happen organically, while other inmates need more direction to envision a better life after release. A formerly incarcerated trucker shares the road he found to a better life while serving his sentence, and a university professor explains how she’s offering opportunities to inmates while challenging the perspectives of “outsiders” and breaking the so-called black box of prisons.
