Prisoner reentry — interview with John Huffington | VIEWPOINT

Описание: After spending 32 years in prison — 10 of which were on death row — John Huffington maintained his innocence, and was ultimately released from prison in 2013 through a writ of actual innocence. Today, John works for Living Classrooms in Baltimore, where he runs programs to help educate former prisoners who are returning to the workforce. The goal is to reduce crime and recidivism in Maryland by helping those reentering society to get productive, legal jobs instead of going back to jail.

Interview conducted by AEI's Gerard Robinson.
