#1531 – Life Sentence

In this Latino USA episode: life before, during and after prison. We meet a group of lifers trying to slow down the school-to-prison pipeline. We hear the story of Suave (SWAH-vey), who has gone from illiteracy and a life sentence, to finding meaning behind organizing behind bars. We learn about the trouble former inmates have re-entering society, and what they can do to succeed. Also, how one inmate has turned skills learned in prison into his business. And, how freedom can surprise you.
