A look at the barriers formerly incarcerated people face when trying to re-enter society.

Employment gaps, stigmas, mental health access--these are just a few of the challenges that await formerly incarcerated people once they leave jail or prison. Some have broken through those barriers and are using their success to help others. In our latest Decibel special, we look at what works, what doesn't, and what advocates are trying to change for men and women looking for a fresh start.
