Al Roker Instagram – Have you been watching Returning Citizens: Life Beyond Incarceration? Too many young people in our country are funneled into a cycle of punishment and incarceration that leads to disrupted lives and diminished futures.
In Episode 2 (swipe ⬅️ for a clip, see 🔗 in bio for full episodes, and check local listings for 📺 broadcast), host @lawprofbutler speaks to an adolescent brain development expert, who explains why teens are not just little adults, participates in an Intergenerational Healing Circle and talks to Ghani, a powerful advocate for returning citizens now living a life of service to help himself and others find redemption.
Returning Citizens focuses on the challenges faced by the formerly incarcerated in America. When they’re released back into society after their debt has been paid, often, they are offered no opportunities and no hope. But there are some who do break through, who do get a hand, who do get help. Listen to their story.
